Next to the Pressed Flower
by Melina Raven Maness DieboldInside my Bible
bookmarks are there
invitations to weddings
sad programs to funerals too
A pressed flower
the one you put in my hair
that night at the fair
A baby pin, poked through
a pastel paper
announcing my niece's birth
And a bookmark
printed for our big day
5 years ago today
now, for naught
In inked remembrance
of our mistake 03/12/2003 Posted on 03/12/2003
