A memory
Flowering potted plants,
Glowingly growing among,
Shards of shattered glass,
A memory of pain,
Thankful,
For,
Today.
A year ago a friend was driving towards her home and had an accident in which the vehicle rolled several times. Just the other day she recounted her experience walking past the place. As she walked by the scene of broken glass she spotted potted plants flowering. She said it both saddened and lifted her. Apparently others had died there in similar accidents and the flowers were planted in memory. :)

Memories are often bittersweet and when you see something like that, a reminder, a small bit of guilt can settle in. That you are here and they are not.
LIVEwiRe - Survival always comes at a cost doesn't it. Those of us who have have outlived so many will always be reminded.
