Dear Beautiful Flower...

Dear Beautiful Flower,

Bending in the wind.
You are no longer near me.

You are weak and thin.

Dear Beautiful Flower,

Such an impulsive gaze.
To believe you couldn't survive...

This frightful phase.

Dear Beautiful Flower,

I miss you so.
The once warm skin,

Is now so cold.

Dear Beautiful Flower,

Why aren't you here?
Because this is what he wanted..

He wanted you near.

Dear Beautiful Flower,

You had such an intellectual mind.
You were, not just beautiful,

But also kind.

Dear Beautiful Flower,

I loved you so much.
I cry and cry,

Because I miss your soft touch.

Dear Beautiful Flower,

Will you visit my dreams this year?
Because that day...
Because the loss of you...

That was my greatest fear come true.

My now desceased Aunt,
