Got your photograph but it don't kiss back

Visit Mr.Knowitall to post your own Friday Flash 55 word story or poem!

The autumn leaves
changed colours
but you were springMan and Baby
with its hopes
not a misty regret
of winter
shivering
by a log fire
alone

Looking back
I still dream
although summer
with gentle walks
along green riverbanks
picking wild flowers
never came
but you gave our child
her own seasons
as I wait
for you

  11. There is sweet with sadness intermingled. A child is always a blessing but sometimes the cost is high.

    Nicely done 55

  12. I read it again and caught the reference to your mother this time.

    What a sweet reflection - now that the sting of my father's death is removed the sweet memories and reflections waft thru the day

    happy One Shot
