Flowers for the Forgotten
by Steve and Susan Doyle
Flowers for the Forgotten
I left a rose upon the rock
That bore my mother’s name.
I said a prayer and promised
To visit her again.
To the old section I made my way
Where my mother had shown me
The graves of The Forgotten lay.
She had always said a little prayer
For the long forgotten people
Who lie so lonely there.
I left a rose upon a rock
That bore somebody’s name
I said a prayer and promised
To visit once again.
At midnight restless souls begin to stir.
From the back an elderly voice:
I GOT A VISITOR!!!
