A Wilted Flower

.

She danced,
the little girl,
with braids
dancing even higher
brighter, wider

then she abruptly stopped
and respectfully bowed
for a small daisy
carefuy picked it
for her gram
her caress
embracing
the pure white petals
with sweetness

Years later
she entered the abandoned
sleepingroom
and found the wilted flower
Gram kept her love
to be found again
when she was long gone.
