Water, Sun and Love
Bury my ashes
In organic soil
Then plant a seed
An acorn, a fern or a mushroom
Please tend the plant
Water, sun and love
In winter when plants recline
And smiles disappear
Please continue your care
In the spring I return
Water, sun and love
As years pass
And withering arrives
Please burn the plant
And bury the ashes
In organic soil
Water, sun and love

About the Author
Hi! Johnny Walker here. In writing I go by John Walker. I’m 61 years old and live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California. I write poetry, short stories and I am currently working on a novel (or trying to I should say). My work is simple and easily understood……’fraid I ain’t all that deep, but I hope people enjoy them nonetheless.
