Forever Grateful

Yesterday my daughter made my day
For the first time 
She gave me pink roses for my birthday 
I was shocked elated
 And appreciative 
She melted my heart
Later that day she had to depart 
 Back to college
Now I stare at these breathless flowers 
In reminiscence, for hours 
They shadow off the wall 
Timeless beauty 
So tall 
Soon they shall blossom 
In a day  
And show of there vividness 
Transfixed they have addictedness 
What I know shall last 
 In foreverness
The memory of 
A wonderful day
