these little sweet flowers
of long-standing tradition
individually wrapped
for you
hold the words
i can't bring you
without tears
they sit neatly stacked
on the counter waiting
to be opened and read
by you
to give you direction
i no longer have
without tears
i will keep them here for you
your collection to ponder
their meaning, their message
to you
in the hope they will guide you
like i once was able
without tears
