Nov 2016
An earth filled flower *** is all I have left of you.
That and the memories,
Both good and bad.
The flower *** reminded me of you at the end
Empty, nothing left to give.
But then summer came, and with it your flower *** bloomed
Bright orange lilies, the most beautiful I had ever seen
A burst of fire
A fleeting explosion of passion and wonder.
The flower *** reminds me of you at the beginning
Full of hope and beauty, with everything to give
That’s how I choose to remember you now
And every summer the lilies grow I think of the past
And smile at the unconditional love you always had for me
