Are Those My Roses?
.
Cleaning old flowers that were left on my grave
For how long have they been there?
Stuck underground for many years. I can’t remember all the years that have past.
So ,When did someone visit me last?
Was it a week ago?Or maybe it’s been many,many months.Maybe, no one came at all!
Probably,just the wind blowing flowers wildly throughout these tired and dreadful months
Flowers Landing on everyone’s grave.A flower , a petal, something from Nature.Reminding the tombstones,they are not forgotten
I’ve been dead for so long. Anyone who every visited has passed. I’m no longer a memory to anyone
My children,grandchildren, and my great great grandchildren are gone.
Now ,I’m just a patch of dirt, with a headstone on my shoulders.
My name and date embroidered in slate
For I am over two hundred years old!
Rose’s dead roses. That’s all I see!
I wonder if they were meant to be for me!
So who paid respects to my tombstone?
