It's a fiction poem Paul lol and if hubby sent me flowers for valentine's I'd want to know what he'd been up to as we never celebrate it. the odd thing is I had a 'flower card' delivered yesterday with a message from a Brenda K - I had no idea who they were from and had to contact the company as i wanted to be able to thanks the person who had sent them... and then found out they were from a friend of my mum who found out I'd had surgery and her name is 'Barbara' not Brenda! I write in mum's diary every time we visit and Barbara writes her name in too - At New year mum got a certificate for having the most visits from her family, sadly my sister hasn't seen mum since Nov 2015 and has cut herself off from the family but I try and see mum every day I'm so lucky to still have her:-) hugs jan xx

1 rose for your charm....the 2nd keeps you from harm....the 3rd for the Beauty of jan's heart....the 4th for every wonderful work of art....the 5th for inspiration provided....the 6th for the humor, you just cant hide it....the 7th for no show of denial....the 8th is just for my smile....the 9th for a friendship in tact....the 10th for that being a fact....the 11th is just for you....and the 12th for inspiring this, how did i do....;)
