==============================================
Waiting
=======
There was a time
the bench was yours and mine
sharing thoughts and dreams
and some times mysterious themes.
.
There was a time
I’d look and see you so fine
sitting and waiting patiently for me
always late you’d say, but saved the seat for thee.
.
I walk by and wonder where you are
looking for you in my heart near and far
no longer waiting there for me
on the bench for me to see.
.
You left this world suddenly not saying goodbye
the bench is there waiting and so am I.
.

The lonely bench… why is it they often seem more lonely than inviting. Nicely done.

How heartbreaking.
Alice Keys
Nice. But where are the toads?
Kerry O'Connor
This is such a heart-felt response to the image of the empty bench. You said that you found the restricted length and rhyme scheme difficult to work with, but I believe you have pulled it off very well.

How sad that is. I hope it’s not based on experience.
