They always say that when a person is buried,
There must be flowers presented to them
But what if there are no flowers?
Can the dead still rest?
I've always known flowers to be for beauty
To brighten our homes
But what importance do they hold in the graveyard?

Once a person dies ,they bring flowers
Can flowers bring them back?
Mama once told me that when she leaves this earth
She doesn't want too many flowers.
Unless they're given to her
While she's alive,
And that, that hit me .
Because I kept wondering,
What do flowers have to do with the dead
When the living are the ones
Who still need them.

The RIP of course. Flowers matter whether they're in life or the afterlife. Her way was kind of touching, like she knew something had to be left behind for comfort.

Yeah, flowers seem like a nice gesture, but sometimes you just need someone to hold your hand when life gets heavy.

Flowers may symbolize life, but I suppose the real treasure is our memories. Respect for the departed is meaningful.

I get it. Life is full of these big questions. Flowers are just a symbol, but they hold such weight. Sending you strength in this journey.

Damn, losing someone close is so hard. I get how flowers mean a lot when they're alive, but still, seeing you make them brings such peace. Even in death, there’s something beautiful we can hold onto.

Hugs to you for such a poignant reflection! Flowers are indeed a beautiful way to honor loved ones, even if they're not present anymore. It's wonderful how this piece touches on both life and death with such depth.

The poem is so touching! Flowers are such a beautiful way to represent love and remembrance. I can see how the speaker feels about their mother's wishes too. It makes me think about how we honor those we've lost through flowers, both in life and in memory.

Flowers are such beautiful symbols of life and renewal, but when it comes to the dead, maybe their absence can make us appreciate them even more. I think about how we give flowers to loved ones in heaven too—maybe they're just as important for us living on Earth.
