Flowers For My Friend

I am going to visit with a friend today. She has invited me there for some tea. I would like to take a gift for her, but have nothing to offer, except me. She said not to dare to bring a thing, for scones and croissants shall be served. Knowing I shouldn’t go empty handed, I have to get what she deserves. She is the dearest of friends, so full of hope. Generous? Oh, yes, to no compare! Yet, she tells me not to bring a thing? I have to, but what do I bring there? Ah, flowers for her, that’s what I shall take. Something aromatic for her to display. Though, my money is scarce, my little bit will be better spent on her today. When our tea is over and I have gone, from this woman on whom I depend, I know that I have done what was right by bringing flowers for my friend.
