More than two years after Arline departed
a new and beautiful seedling emerged in
"The Garden".
I can only imagine ...
Her glistening eyes, Her tender smile,
The day this newest flower was christened ...
Kirsten "Arline".
What a wondrous "Garden" she left this man.
Still flourishing lush and radiant.
Although she is not here
to hold this precious new flower,
perhaps my "Gardener Angel" has done so
in ways I'm not given to understand.
At times I wonder, if the occasional smile
seen upon the faces of my granddaughters
as they sleep,
Might not be a reflection of two
loving grandmothers no longer here ...
