Reminders

I see something
And
It triggers
A thought
A memory
And once again you're there
Smiling
Holding me as you once did
Comforting me
I open a drawer
And your perfume
Passes me
On it's way to join you
Leaving me
As did you
So long ago now
But was it not yesterday
I said good bye
We all
Said goodbye
Your family
Friends
All of us
And now
I find
Reminders
Old reminders
Placed safely
Refound with delight
New reminders
Discovered
Unexpectedly
A bouquet for sale
Tears fall in unbidden suprise
You were
Always the rose

The white rose
