Today’s #Verselove prompt was to borrow the first words of each line of a poem. I chose the first words from the poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden.

Sundays Remind Me of You

Sundays are days for church and rest
and contemplating the week ahead.
Then why does my mind find it hard to focus?
From morning until night, the day is
banked by the memories of you.

I’d give anything to see you again
when I open my eyes in the morning
and enjoy a Sunday breakfast you made with love
fearing it would all be a dream.

Speaking about you and our life together reminds the world
who you were, who you loved, who loved you,
and the differences you made in the lives of others.
What a lucky woman I am to have had a life
of love and laughter with such a wonderful man.
