Once Upon A Time
Weeds & Wildflowers May Prompt: Play
May 16, 2025
Once upon a time,
You were here,
Before you left,
Nearly a year ago —
Unexpectedly —
Suddenly —
Stolen by death.
Once upon a time,
You played chess
With our grandson,
On a set of glass
Etched with memories —
No one left to play
In this empty home —
The set donated
So someone else can play
And etch memories.
Once upon a time,
You were here . . .
