there are tiny blue flowers
growing around your rocks
even though nobody took care of them
after the first year
the flowers we planted died, just like you
they died from neglect
from growing in the wrong environment
too much shade
maybe you did too
it’s fitting that there are
flowers growing near you
today is sunny and warm
not rainy and grey
like that day two years ago
the birds are celebrating
your daughter sits
on the bench next to me
comforting me
i think she knows what today is
i finally cry
a tear from each eye
that’s more than i have in two years
