Flowers Are For Living
see the roses, red and white
see the glads, serene and noble
the bouqueted mums, radiant and bright
see the orchids, beautifully boastful
smell the scents for all intents
pulling our memory back in time
remembering joys from past events
family and friends, the days sublime
petals soften life's hard terms
the leaves greening up the day
the pollen sits on stamen's tips
reminding, life carries on, what may
flowers are for the living
from the wellspring of existence
remembered, even in our grieving
blooming our hearts to reminiscence
