Flower

by Jennifer   Apr 26, 2005


*I wrote this for anyone who as lost someone in thier life that they cared for*
Here I am sitting on the steps with a single red rose in my hands
I am holding this blood red rose so tightly, that I’m afraid that it will be crushed within my hands
I look up into the hot sun as tears start to form in my eyes, as I start to think about “it” again,
My heart is breaking for you, the little innocent one in this situation

I struggle to stand, and clutch this flower with all my might
I slowly walk down the steps to the freshly cut grass, and the newly upturned dirt.
As I get nearer, to where you are at rest my little angel, my heart starts to break again
Then I am standing in-front of it, the stone that as your beautiful name carved into it.

I trace your elegant name with my figures as the memories come rushing back to me,
I see your smile, and hear your laughter in my head even if its for a short time I start to feel happy again.
I place the rose upon the stone and lean down to kiss the stone; A kiss goodbye that I never was able to give you.
As I start to walk away I turn and whisper I love you, as a tear slides down my face.

*Please tell me what you think about it. Thank you for reading*
