A Flower For Mom
A mother is never more beautiful,
Than when her eyes meet the love
In the eyes of her child .
Here’s a flower,
For you mom!
I picked it from a tree,
And I thought that you
Would love it too,
Just as much as me!
See the way
The colours shine,
Pretty green and pink,
It’s nicer than
A store-bought one,
At least that’s what I think!
I know you got
A lot of flowers
Because it’s mothers’ day,
But please love the one
With the maple buds,
That I found
Along my way.
She is sadly no longer here, but I remember as a child
picking Daisies for her…the special ones tinged with pink…
Now, I treasure the freshly picked flowers my tiny
Grandaughter brings for me..
Oh that circle of life…
Your words say it so perfectly….
Best wishes,
Diana…
