Sometimes
By
John I. Blair
Sometimes I’m sure
Her ghost is lingering here,
Talking to me without a sound.
I almost see her
Sitting in her chair,
Wearing a bright and graceful dress.
At such times I wish
I could hear her words,
Take her advice, her sympathy
Or even criticism, so much better
Than nothing, for nothing’s what I get
From others still alive.
