Purple Flowers

Purple Flowers 

Purple Flowers 
To my Violette 

Memory; 
Of my mother. 
Alive and laughing pretty, 
putting flowers in a vase, 
water for the roots. 
Why mommy ,why do you do that? 
A little boy full of wonder___ 
life can be like that. 
So I can save them and see them, 
because I love you. 
Picking purple flowers, 
purple flowers in the rain, 
purple flowers hide my pain. 
You do love me dont you mother, 
purple flowers , 
stain.
