Monday WRites 126

[Anthurium Lily from google dot com. I added a frame]


ANTHURIUM BOUQUET (for Granny)
I'll use my words, arrange them, into a bouquet
Of Anthurium Lilies, because you loved them.
Festival? no, alas! you cannot wear them as lei.
Its time for sobs, tears, and letting go, its time.
Memories too, i'll arrange them, into a bouquet.
Such fragrance, so beautiful, will now linger on
And smiles we shared at our last meet will stay,
Even when clouds burst watering your memory.
Your smile will meet mine, even if cloudy the day.
In your peaceful rest, His perpetual light to shine,
As i use my words, arrange them, into a bouquet.

    Anthuriums remind me of the tropics as they don't grow here. They are wonderfully scupltural.

    She sounds like she was a really special person. As your words are being arranged into a bouquet, I'm saying I'm sorry for your loss.đź’™

    so sorry for the loss... I think words can be the same as arranging flowers... a good comparison.

    They are always an inspiration. In fact in many instances a confidant to guide one along a good path!
