He carried 3 red roses

in a wide brimmed glass

filled to the brim with love

and a whole lot of class.

He held them carefully

clear across town

then he walked on

the frozen, white ground

and placed the red flowers

and makeshift vase in the snow.

Memories came suddenly

and he wished he did more long ago

when she was still close by

and his world was still right.

He wiped away a tear or two

then said goodbye  for the night.
