Immortalizing Those We Love

In your honor

I tie my sandals,

Wipe the Dust off the table

Open the Window

In your honor

I break twigs

Build fire

Cook the food I like

never settle for Less

never compromise

Always accept what I am given

In your honor

I exercise my limbs

at times strenuously

other times less

but always with Purpose

In your honor

I bow to the power

of what I might not know

Yet stand up

For that which I do Know

In your honor

I grow Lavender

all around your house

 Our house

Watch the Bees buzz

their Worker circuits

Tirelessly,

In your honor

I sit on this Hill

Overlooking your favorite Vista

See you everywhere

I set my Gaze

The Black Mountains in the distance

Where You Once Fought

the Cypress

Where You Now Rest,

the Sunflowers

the Wheat, and finally

the Ever-Giving

Fig

In Your Honor

Borio Blanco Trees
