Flowers



Wonders to share;
Fragrant pink roses,
Red tulips, dahlias,
mums
The red, yellow blossoms
Bouquet, rich colored blooms
Visual blessings from nature’s bosom
With perfume fragrance into the house
The world outside now so within
But lifeline cut, the stems suck water
The flowers, distant from their warmth soon fade
Will wilt and spoil, sadly to be discarded
But you and I outlast those flowers
Our memories latched to their sunshine state
So lucky, I’ll bring you more flowers soon!
Another rainbow cascade
Fleeting, relish in their gratifying beauty
Before the exhilaration pales
In the recess of our memory
Ours to behold for our lifetime
