Sweet Goodbye

Jolly Cones by Wayne Thiebaud (2002)

Your color overwhelms me,

the flavor of your smile.

Evidence that life goes on,

beyond my country mile.

Reason says, “You’re melting”,

yet eyes would disagree.

With canvas as your anchor,

you’re never far from me.

Frozen in your moment,

with pastel colored sky.

Know that we remember,

your ever sweet goodbye.
