only down forgotten roads
this floral sentinel will find
overgrown grassy yard and
the lilac now left behind
absent windows in stone
open to the passing of time
a home still fenced in by
the lilac now left behind
Henry's bushels of wheat
and Anna's mulberry wine
sold to purchase what is
the lilac now left behind
young hands took blooms
for MayDay baskets to line
yearly harvested from
the lilac now left behind
weary lives led to know
how love is truly defined
lives still blooming in
the lilac now left behind
generations have come and
gone abandoning their kind
for memorial it remains
the lilac now left behind
