Crown Flowers (a work in progress)

crown flowers for our Queen 
crown flowers for Grandma Pauline
crown flowers for you
my sweetheart from O'ahu

ʻauhea wale ana ʻoe?
we are never apart
ʻauhea wale ana ʻoe?
always forever in my heart
ʻauhea wale ana ʻoe?
so long my friend
aloha ʻoe until we meet again

thank you for the adventures
the joy, laughter and tears
at the end of the line
life with no fear
there is something about the natural mystic
the radiance after a full moon
I'll remember you fondly
jut an i love you written in flowers
written in the stars
in the sand of Waikīkī
on the keys of this here piano
on the strings of a guitar
the satisfaction with cooking
ti leaves waiting in the fridge
I now know that this is what love is
showing me the way to my own heart
