Memory

You came into my 

life for one brief day-

Gave me the laughter in 

your lips and eyes, 

Touch of your hand in 

mine, then hurried away

Yet left these memories

Oh, child, you brought

Strange sunlight 

To my gloom. 

So carelessly 

You gave a thing

So fair, 

As though one 

Passed through 

Some Beautiful 

room 

And dropped a flow'r there.
