precious memory

On the way to the meeting at the community center,
I saw purple tsuru-kikyo blooming beautifully
and gently in the bush.

Do you know tsuru-kikyo? It is very strong.
It creeps around the garden. I have tsuru-kikyo
in my garden in Niigata.

Mr. K, who was kind enough to take care of my two
dogs, gave me one and planted it in my garden.

Mr. K has been dead for years, but tsuru-kikyo is
alive and welcomes me when I go home--to my vacant
home in Niigata. I miss Mr. K and my two dogs so much.
