Forget Me Not
Tiny blue flowers, called “forget-me-nots” grow profusely in the heights of the Rocky Mountains in the summer. They can be found tucked into every nook and cranny - sometimes growing out of cracks in the face of the rock. This is a poem I wrote one summer as I reflected on the name of these vivid blooms. They , together with the rest of creation incessantly remind us not to forget…
Each hill scaled, each step climbed
Incessant emblems that remind
Tucked in every nook and crack
Tiny yellow eyes peer backPainted lids of baby blue
Moist with tears of morning dew
A repeated message on this rock
Reminders to “Forget-me-not”Extending up from earth to sky
Where blue encircles a golden eye
From heav’n above the loyal sought

Each spring my gardens come alive with Forget-Me-Nots! They have always brought memories of home. My thoughts will now recall a new meaning. Thank you!
