She wasn’t there
But the guests entered a living room filled with positive energy.
She wasn’t there
But we ate the salt and sweet of her heart.
She wasn’t there
But her mind helped lay out the scene.
She wasn’t there
But we couldn’t wait to talk to her on the phone.
She wasn’t there
But even the smell of the smokers in the hall brought back her sense.
And beyond the evidence of our five senses:
She wasn’t there
But the guest of honor’s near-first words were:
“Now will she pop out of the bedroom?”
She wasn’t there
But she is never far from my mind and heart.
Who says she wasn’t there?
