The Power of a Flower

THE POWER OF A FLOWER

Time for tea, early afternoon,
Pretty flowers on the cup.
Does it taste any better,
Will it life us up?

Perhaps if the cup were plain,
It would taste just as good.
Flowers add beauty,
As we know it should.

Roses for the lady,
Makes any day so grand.
Gorgeous in a vase,
Special in her hand.

The wedding hall so fine,
Flowers every where.
Festive love and beauty,
They show that people care.

The garden home so new,
This life we now do share.
Spreading love and happiness,
Flowers add a special flair.

A new-born cries,
A mother smiles.
Flowers brighten the room,
For a special child.

The years just seem to fly,
Children here and gone.
Celebrations blessed with color,
Flowers made it a home.

Now the bugle blows Taps,
Another patriot gone.
Flowers cover his grave,
Lord, please welcome him home.

Raymond Morgan February 12, 2015 at 6:03 PM Thank you for the kind comments. I spent twenty years in the Air Force and attended more military funerals than one would hope to visit in a lifetime. All are difficult, but when it is someone that you know or who stood beside you to "guard your back" it is more difficult. I have a great article on the history of Taps and will proudly send it to your e mail. Mine is [email protected] Raymond V. Morgan
