Which is sadder, a grave with flowers or a grave without flowers?

As I drive by the field covered with stones and bones

I realize some have flowers and some do not

Did they seem to forget the day their loved one passed

Or is it too hard for them to mourn each year

Is forgetting easier than remembering

But how could they forget those people who meant so much

Six feet underground and they still hope you visit them

They fear you have forgotten them and moved on

Maybe you did move on but you have not forgotten

So when you have moved on make sure they know you did not forget

Visit them at least once and leave a rose at their head

This moved me.
I visit the grave of a loved one often and am saddened that so many are forgotten over time.
It's the same with seniors in homes. :(
