“Every flower I see for the
Rest of my days will remind
Me of you, teaching me to
Say “petunia” and “zinnia”
On warm summer days.
I was too little to see
That you were showing me
The source you drew your
Strength from, arming
Me against every sorrow
I would face in life with
The knowledge of how
To find joy in any moment,
Grounding me in the beauty
Of nature and the hope
Brought by every spring.”
