I do not think of you reposing in the earth of a cemetery, quiet and still; I see you working in your garden among the flowers humming a happy tune; I think of us together walking through shops and markets in town and I think of us in the kitchen sipping tea ___________________________ December 17, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/In Memory of My Mother Copyright Protected, ID 12-1413-543-17 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Bite Size Poem #30 sponsor, Line Gauthier, Judged 12/29/2021 Honorable Mention

Congrats on this winning work with such sweet memories. We don't think of them buried but alive because they are alive just in another place. Sara
