Two Heads Bent Together

The little boy in the wheelchair,
his mother so near
paused beside the rose bushes,
with a smell and a feel,
two heads bent together,
in a world of their own
mother's face was so loving,
injured boy not alone
just two heads in the rose bush,
how tranquil, how sweet
boy's hand near the armrest,
palm with mother's .... petite
my, how poignant was the moment,
how poignant was the love
two heads bent together ....
memories beckoned and sought.
