Forget-Me-Not
When I was little
You showed me some flowers
In our garden.
They were blue,
My favorite color,
And you told me
They were forget-me-nots.
You were a florist
You loved flowers
And I loved you
So every afternoon
When I came back from school,
I’d listen to Granddaddy’s stories
About the garden
And everything inside it.
I came home from work
To visit you one day,
Only to hear myself being called
By my mother’s name.
And in my grandmother’s sad eyes
I remembered
That spring evening
When you tucked a blue flower in my hair
And promised
That you would never
Ever
Forget me.
