The Flower - A Tribute Poem by Andreas Simic

The Flower - A Tribute ©

Thank you flower for the wonderful bouquet you present to me

Thank you flower for your fragrance that fills the air and makes me smile

Thank you flower for allowing me touch your silkiness and to feel beauty

Thank you flower for blessing me with your array of colors

Thank you flower for being there on my Birthday and to count the years

Thank you flower for being there on Mother's Day to thank Mom for being mom

Thank you flower for being there on Father's Day to be with Dad

Thank you flower for being there on Valentine's Day to let my sweetheart know I love her

Thank you flower for being there on my wedding day to celebrate my relationship

Thank you flower for being there to celebrate at a child's birth

Thank you flower for being there at so many special occasions

Thank you flower for being there even when there wasn't a good reason

And one last thank you, thank you for being there when I pass on

I know you will brighten the room even if it is a sad moment for those left behind

Thank you flower for making me feel better knowing that you will be there
