Dandelions
Wanting to adorn your grave
in flowers, I went shopping and
discovered a most interesting
option - solar light flowers.
I loved the idea of lighted blossoms
keeping you company at night so,
armed with a handful,
I added my offerings
to the small riot of silk flowers
already present and
remembered the small child
bringing a handful of carefully selected
dandelions
for mommy to
proudly display in a
water glass on the
dining room table.
The child cried today;
she misses Mom too.
