If I sent you flowers
not the usual ones
no carnations or mums
but exotics
and I raced to the florist
to get there by two
smiling all the while
and thinking it so cool
that the song that reminds me of us
was playing on the radio as I drove home
imagining the smile on your face
when you got them
and how everyone in the office
would be envious
and you would feel special
and loved
and appreciated
just for being you

If I sent you flowers
would you tell me I was silly?

Hopelessly romantic, yes. Silly, no.
Duncan, you are such a teddy bear!

And I adore flowers! (oops, I'll bet they were for some sassy little redhead!)

(smiles) Oh Duncan, I don't think it is silly at all, it may indeed feel funny but it is also a beautiful thing to do as it will bring a light to her heart for sure! (big hugggsssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Duncan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I’d be happy with just the carnations or mums, nobody sends me flowers.  But I would be happy for just someone righting the poem to me, cause it’s the thought that counts.  For smell you can always get purfume.  And what’s wrong with being silly anyway??

Hi Duncan

Love the sweet honesty in this poem.  But flowers are not silly, nope, not a bit, and hey, I know a good florist.

PS...woman love them!

I would tell you how thoughtful and warm you are...just like this poem. Enjoyed. Chris

Duncan - I don't believe she would tell you that you were silly, just in love with someone special...

My, my, my, how do I get in line? You are so romantic and your poem is delightful, Duncan!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
