A.M Thoughts

Strength

And on the day I close my eyes
Weep.
Lose sleep.
Scream until your voice becomes hoarse.
Have a look at the ashes on the mantel
Allow happy memories to swarm your head.

I hope you feel my warmth each time
Forget not the flower I was.
I had the elegance of a rose.
Cheery because of the red
Thorns because I was a warrior.

After a year of my departure, I pray you will be strong enough to scatter me into the ocean.
Have a great smile, the kind that warms your chest.
Lastly, forgive yourself for mourning.

Strength
