Maypole

My maypole
It sings a melodious tune.
I visualise people dancing,
Under the stars and the moon.

The colours gave me joy,
Until that tragic day.
Suddenly fun disappeared.
And enjoyment started to fade away.

You rest on the shelf,
Eager to be cherished.
I walk past you and realise,
Our love will never perish.

Your story will be passed on,
From Mum to me,
The enjoyment you
Gave to our family.

Generation to generation
You will be cared for
Our connection is strong
And our love is forever more.
