for Stewart

Today would have been your birthday
The fifth one you've missed
And instead of buying you a present
Usually something photographic
We bought you yellow roses
And a candle
Tied green ribbons on the prayer tree
And filled a jar with forget-me-nots
From the garden you loved
You've missed so much
Above all not seeing your lovely Victor
You,
And your wonderful sense of humour
Are missed
Every single day
