I remember the roses....
Red ones,
Brighter,
Bolder,
Redder than the sunset in Christoval.
I remember how
Every valentine's day, since I can remember,
There would be four red roses
Placed neatly in a row on the table,
Each one with a little white tag on it
That said our names:
Eric,
Courtney,
Jacoba,
Jenna.
Every year it was the same,
Four red roses.
Four red roses.
Four red roses.
I always thought they were stupid, really....
I mean, what little kid would care about
A single red rose?
....Until after Courtney died.
This year was different.
Four red roses,
With our names:
Eric,
Jacoba,
Jenna,
Anna.
And a single white rose,
With the name
Courtney.

This is so beautifully touching. The red rose now for Anna and a beautiful white rose for Courtney. It is a beautiful tradition.
