Forget Me Not
Forget Me Not

A cemetery is a well kept home
for those still mourned
in the hearts of the living
colorful pinwheels are planted
and tiny teddy bears propped
fresh flowers will replace
the stems consumed by winds
or wandering in deer
while the graves of the long dead
stand neglected, like the one
I saw the other day, undecorated
but for a blue flower in granite
carved next to her name
with a haunting plea...
“forget-me-not”
