Mom’s Last Roses


These are Mom’s last roses.
I kept a
little part
of all the roses given,
from every grieving heart.

I
handled them so gently
and dried them - as you see.
I found the
perfect basket-
arranged them carefully.

I found the sweetest
ribbon,
and made this fancy bow-
attaching it, expertly!
It had
to be - just so!

It had to turn out special,
and easily
convey…
how much I do still love her
and miss her every day!

These
are Mom’s last roses.
They’ll always be a part
of all my memories
of her
and the sorrow in my heart.
