BLUE

A great expanse of pale blue skies
Unending deep blue seas,
Distance sounds a heart that beats,
But not for me.

Early mornings, busy days
A smile, a talk, a song,
Strong hands make a warm embrace,
But not for me.

Young to the call, swift to respond
Years wear happiness.
The plan fulfilled, a promise, still?
But not for me.

The home place holds it's beauty,
Oaks shadow many stones.
Across the lake, once pure,
Moon lit the water's edge,
But not for me.
