Vivian Kirkfield's #50Preciouswords 2021 - Honorable Mention
A Spring Memory
by Chris Garcia-Halenar
Not all days smile, but today is lucky.
The garden is full of Spring.
They walk.
“Elizabeth, next year we will plant daffodils.”
“Grandpa, I’m Victoria.”
They stop.
He is blank.
His fingers fill with fear.
She squeezes tighter.
“Can we also plant tulips?”
His eyes thank her.
