A friend
Adopted family
Rare fine,
A Horticulturalist,lesbian,book lover,
Lost her lady love to Covid,
Still fears Mickey might be angry,
So many tears,
Illness’s came and went,
Hand in hand,
Love was always there,
Covid separated the lovers of thirty-seven years,
Ruth was not allowed to sit with Mickey,
Nurses would not consent,
Ruth would have been ever so pleased to have breathered her last with her hand in her sweet ladies hand,
Like words of a great Star Trek,
‘Parted and never parted!
Not unrequited love,
Love was full as an apple tree in full blossem,
I would have like to have met the woman that I feel when Ruth smiles through the phone,
