Lily Flower

How could I forget those days when the Lily Flowers blossom in mother's garden when it sprouted its enlarge bundle of flowers around the zinc fence moments when strangers gazed moments when bugs feast to joy How could I forget this all the days when its leaves struggled in the long rainfall How could I forget the days when children crowded themselves just to touch the softness of the flower the days when mother sweat for an hour How could I even forget that special day when mother and I went outside only to see our neighbor whom we did not knew trespasses in mother's garden we laughed with our mouth shut he then say goodbye How could I forget mother's garden the days she planted flowers How could I forget the days when she whipped my younger siblings for damaging her only planted flowers.
