Love
Marigold in Philly
Marigold smiled as she thought of the extenuating circumstances that planted her boot clad feet in the Philly. Even though it was blistering cold and her uncover nose felt as though it would fall off her face, the warmth she felt in her heart could truly not compare. After all these years, she finally possessed the ability to reunite with her long long lost love. She specifically recalled the bittersweet moment she reluctantly walked away from his pleading eyes fully knowing that she would never return and if she did there was an almost ninety-nine percent chance their situation would not go back to how it was in the past. They could never stay under the same roof or share any type of leaving quarters together for that was an impossibility; it would always be, always.

The Changing of Seasons
Climbing, studying, feeling, and finally picking the perfect pear for the two of them, was what Johnny, day-dreamed about and looked forward to everyday even during class. Sitting in class listening to Mr. Lee, while staring down at his paper, pencil tapping on the desk waiting for the bell to ring. His anticipation for 3:30 was almost unbearable. Unbearable because he had a meeting with a pear tree, but not just any pear tree, it was the one which grew deep green leaves with pears that had a flicker of red and orange reflecting off of their favorite lake. This meeting between the two went on everyday, seven days a week.

Simple Brown Paper Project
It was the morning of their anniversary. She woke up early in the morning to breakfast in bed. Waiting on the table next to her was a small present wrapped in brown paper with writing all over the paper. There was a card. She read the card to see what it said and who it was from? It was from her husband of ten years. He had just gotten home from prison the year before.

Immortal Love
Marigold Williams. That was my name. My mother had named me after the bunch of flowers that my dad had gotten her on their first date. She would repeatedly tell me that it symbolized positive and energy and how it was the perfect name for me because she and my dad loved me immensely. I never argued about the name. Some of my friends at my old school would say that I was ancient for having such a name. In their eyes, a more modern name like Kylie or Chloe was more acceptable. But to me it didn’t matter what they thought. Even though I was constantly reminded that my name wasn’t good, it was the perfect name for me because my mother had chosen it for me. And my name was a mental picture of how much my mother loved my father and how much the both of them loved me.

White dresses and Marigolds
Stacy looked down at her dress, today was one of the most important days of her life. She smiled to herself as her fingertips glided down the beaded seams of her dress. Inhaling for a moment she whispered to herself. “I wish you could be here today, mom. I hope you’re proud of me.” A tiny tear formed in the corner of her eye and she whipped it away before it could fall.
