For a moment ... maybe two,
Take a break from all the busyness
(They say that's good to do.)
As I take a breath, I picture
My life as a bouquet
Of many gorgeous flowers
In a beautiful array.
Red roses for my husband
A color deep and strong
My loyal friend and confidant
We're right where we belong.
White roses for our children
They make our lives complete
With a couple of carnations
For our dancer and athlete.
An orchid for my mother
She helped make me who I am,
With lilacs for the others
My family and my friends.
There are light and fluffy peonies
Their fragrance makes me smile
As my thoughts turn back to yester-year
I reminisce a while.
A random thorn of heartbreak
An annoying weed (or nine)
Make me grateful for the flowers
And their colors, so divine.
With daisies for the summer
When the sun is shining bright
And a primrose for the evening
As the days turn into night.
There are daffodils and tulips
For tomorrow and next year
For health and some prosperity
With a touch of cheer.
A little sprig of laughter
And a spray of special times
With a lily thrown in "just because"
Make my life bouquet sublime!
