Helen "HP" Rivers

I think the hardest part is
Knowing how many houseplants
Have died over the last few years
Who would have thrived
With the right kind of light.

You would have thrived here,
I think that’s the hardest part –
Making light of your absence
Like I’m not still praying for you.

I would have liked
To see spring together.

I pray you find
The right kind of light,
Something worth rooting for.
I’m still rooting for you –
everyone deserves to bloom.
