They're A Waste Of Money Poem by Sharon Collins

I keep my flowers and cards
I never throw them away
They're in a little shoebox
I'll open when old and grey

They'll remind me of the loved ones
Who never missed a year
To remind me I was valued
And make me shed a tear

Love letters from an old beau
A valentine or two
To run my fingers across the words
And remember the "I love you's"

With love from mammie & daddy
You're our special birthday girl
I know when I find this one
I'll pine to cuddle you

Whenever I'm sent flowers
I know the scent will fade
But the sentiment's written in my heart
with every word you've said

I'll always press a flower
To treasure the time you took
You showed me I was valued
and find one day in a book

So keep your cards and flowers
Never throw them away
They were chosen for you
and given with love
From those you'll miss one day
