I May Not Remember

I may not remember your smile
how it was rare but beautiful
like the northern lights
we could see from home

I may not remember your favorite color
a dark purple, nearly black
your spirit was too bright for black
but you saw your life as dark

I may not remember the time when
You saved the fish trapped
in the creek during drought.
Who was to save you?

I may not remember the sound of your voice,
I may not remember your favorite song
I may not remember or ever know why
But I will remember your favorite flower
I laid it on your grave.
Forgive me.
