The Pink Carnation

The pink flower that is called a carnation
I received a sad but yet odd invitation,

To a get together with all my family and no strangers
It seemed nice knowing there was no danger,

Why does everyone have a pink carnation
Is the color a symbol of elimination,

I feel at ease in a sad sort of way
I don't believe this was suppose to be a happy day,

As I went further in to the candle lit room
I have a sense of a pass life that ended in gloom,

When I look around the room I see so many pink carnations
I know now deep inside these beautiful flowers mean it is a final destination.

Beautiful yet hauntingly sad - we had carnations for dads flowers at his funeral - they are my favourite cut flower. Hugs Jan xx
