Flowers
A rose for all the daffodils
In rows by our new house
A flower for everything you bake
(I’ll cherish everything you make)
((And kiss the flour from your nose))
An orchid for the empty rooms
Which dog –or kid- will fill
A sunflower for the happy days,
Our son picking flowers up the hill
A daisy for my love for you
Beyond the day you can’t see
A tulip for when I’m holding you
Lip-to-lip, together for eternity
(Wrote this when I was fourteen. See the play on words? Like tulip and to-lip? Isn't it cute? :) )
