You loved roses and tulips and lilies

You loved waking up and watering the trees

You loved the soil that stained your bare feet

You loved it all, maybe more than you loved me.

But that didn’t matter

What did was the smile it put on your face

The smile I longed to see everyday

The smile I miss so, so much

I remember I once overwatered your sunflowers

You laughed and used them for compost

Your laugh, it’s warmth and comforting sound

That’s what I miss the most

But when it’s your time

Whenever that is

Once your life has been fulfilled

And your spirit has passed

Follow the sunflowers and roses and tulips

And find me down the garden path
