I love your 2 lines, Tom. There was a time when we were accused of being soppy if we expressed ourselves like that to our loved one :) The older I get, I find that there is nothing wrong with being romantic and sentimental!! ~ Best regards // paul

Tom, nice to see something as lovely as this. It's totally great that we can hold onto our joy and sense of well-being. It speaks volumes to who some of us are deep inside! I do like how you used blue flowers, the color blue sometimes gets a bum rap, but blue is actually amazing. It's possible she is giving the flowers to him. That wasn't my first impression, but I try to be open. LOL and Smiles!

Hello Tom, I love how you've chosen something as specific as star-shaped blue lilies. It shows such care in the details, like you really thought about what would be most meaningful. The simplicity of your message actually makes it more powerful - sometimes the most honest emotions need the fewest words. Blessings, Tom, Daniel

Thank you very much Daniel, I'm a hopeless romantic, this is my first attempt at writing a romantic verse. With flowers and a box of chocolates you can't go wrong. Tom
