Redbud Tree

Sitting ‘neath the redbud tree
Hand in hand,
All love.

Eyes closed,
I can see it clear,
You and me as one.

But the leaves have fallen,
And time’s gone on. 
Winter’s brought it’s chill.

Though in my heart 
You always are,
Now it’s pain I feel.

If you ever again come
To this sacred spot,
Make sure to sit with me.

For time goes on, 
But love lives forever
Beneath the redbud tree.
