Orchids

I gave timeless orchids for her birthday She smiled and gave me a kiss I’ll treasure that moment For all time, always For she died the next day I’ll miss her there with me Holding my heart with her warm tender hands Russell Sivey Modified Kimo 10/7/6/5/6/7/10

wow, this one is precious, Russell. Was this an invented poem or did those warm hands belong to someone dear to you?
