Ammi, yesterday was midsummers day
The red rose bush bloomed
One magnificent red rose
My first red rose this summer
The small orange roses bloomed after
Intricately beautiful as I intended
The pink rose bush is bigger
The entire pink rose buds ready to bloom
The burst of colours
Memories of Bambalapitiya, all the flowers you
grew
The bougainvillea, the careful budding of
bushes, the interchanges of colour
Your green thumb, now mine
Your love for roses, with me
You are no more Ammi, but forever with me
Like the roses, forever yours.
Bloom in happiness Hema
Dhammika.
