a red rose
how grandmother blushes
when she sees him
after all these years his voice
the longest in her mind

When my grandmother moved into a retirement home she met her first True Love (from High School) at the breakfast counter and it felt as if they’d never been apart.
He placed a red rose on her breakfast plate each morning and they had one blissful, love-filled year together before he passed away.
Wishing you all a blessed Sunday and a peaceful week ahead,
with love from Xenia xxx
