Flowers

She said "Bring my flowers now, while I'm living" 

and man, that really struck a chord with me 

Too many people wait, and bring flowers to the grave, 

crying over what could have been, and memories 

If you Love someone deeply, let them know it,

With every breath and heartbeat, show it 

None of us is promised tomorrow,

& you don't want to be swallowed in an abyss of sorrow, fretting over lost opportunities
