Flowers

The homecoming dance
A corsage you wore
From your high school beau
Who you still adore

The senior prom
Then graduation
More pretty flowers
For decoration

Quite a surprise
Red roses were sent
To where you work
You knew what they meant

Your choice of flowers
For a bridal bouquet
To match your dress
On your wedding day

Your child was born
Visitors came
Flowers were sent
None looked the same

Birthdays, anniversaries
Flowers suggested
Valentines Day
Red roses requested

A hospital visit
You’ve gotten sick
Flowers were sent
They came very quick

A spray of flowers
On your casket
An array of colors
In a wicker basket

A drought we’re having
Without April showers
Here’s hoping that May
Still brings pretty flowers
