The Flower Does Not Bloom


You give me a flower on Valentines Day
The flower doesn’t bloom
You say it is a symbol of your love
The flower will not bloom
I pamper the flower in a fine glass vase
Shower it with sunlight
But it will not bloom
The flower doesn’t bloom
Instead it wilts and dies
Without ever showing its beauty
The flower is a symbol of your love
The flower never bloomed.

This is so sad yet a beautiful write

Cold hands means a warm heart

This brought to mind a flower that was given to someone after a funeral of a dear friend of mine. The family had given flowers to both myself and this other person. The other person and the dearly departed had not spoken in several years and her flower died that same weekend. I had been best friends with this person and my flower stayed beautiful for at least a week after the services. It sure made me think of the power of love.

(big hugggsssssss) This is a very sad and tugging write, sweet friend, if the flower won't bloom then it is obvious the love isn't true, my heart goes out to you in hope very soon you will find the true love you deserve, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
