No flowers in January (no repeating words)

Better than Easter morn,
day of his funeral,
the church was filled.

Death Shocked our family.
Big, strong 6'6 man.

Bringing big nickels,
or purple grape dum-dums...
Never mentioned my lemon preference.

“I love you more!”
You told us girls.

While driving to your stops,
chain-smoking camel cigarettes,
carrying joy in blooms.

Grandpa was a florist.
