Sentimental Blue
By Jason Sturner


It’s a forget-me-not flower.

It’s a surprise letter by mail.

It’s the love song’s artistic hue.

It’s the color of my words to you.



It’s the waves crashing in.

It’s the ocean beyond the shore.

It’s a warm sky filtering through.

It’s my eyes when I look at you.



It’s a crayon in a child’s hand.

It’s a hug from their small arms.

It’s a glass heart speaking true.

It’s my tears because I miss you.



Sentimental Blue
