Spring Bloom Tulips of Perfect Love
Many years have since passed
Upon the years of gold
Bond between us we did hold
Around my neck I clasp a strand
carved, yellowed with age spring bloom tulips
Perfect love
Grandma used to wear
stood out with her dark brown hair
like no other
I try to hide tears of times we shared
Each bead is unique, varying in size
Not much,
yet
I get to hold what brings me peace
I don't know if you can see her in me
I feel her warmth of tender love
She's in my heart
Perfect love
The reason that I seem so far away
Somewhere laced in time I disappear
In the warmth of her tender love

The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love
They say I look like my grandma :)
