I’ll Paint Memories in Sunflowers
I’ll paint memories
Colored in Sunflowers
The way you
Brightened up the
World when you
Were here.
I’ll color your
Memory
In words
written
In verse.
I’ll tell a story
Of friendship,
Of family
Of friends
Like sisters
And I’ll speak
Of grief.
Fifteen birthdays,
…
The scars
Both seen
And unseen
Aren’t a map
Of tragedy.
You look at me
And assume my life
Is spelled out
In brokenness and grief
But my life
Isn’t defined
By a single
Tragedy
Everything
In-between
Matters too.
I don’t need
Looks of pity
I have good days
And…
