A wildflower floats aimlessly
Through the wind
And lands on a cross
Of a soldiers name
Long forgotten.
His cross is poorly made;
Two scrap boards and a nail
No flowers or pictures,
No way to know his name
The proof of his existence
Sitting there in vain,
No friends to come and visit him,
No family that cares,
This wildflower
The only living thing that's been
There in years.
