A flower to remember.

[Cas1234]

I helped the Boy Scouts clean up an old cemetery that had been overgrown for years. There were about 100 markers, no names or dates. This marker was being pushed over by the tree with a flower growing in front. The only marker with a flower. All I could think was, someone in the past planted a bulb that blooms once a year, like tulips. Once a year this soul is remembered no matter how overgrown the cemetery becomes.

Makes you remember how ephemeral life is. The flower looks like an amaryllis.

Thanks, I had no idea what kind of flower it was, just knew it was not a Tulip.

Thanks, I was thinking, a week later there may only have been a green stalk.
