Don't send me lilies with their fragrance of death wrapped in each silken petal and leaf. Don't send me poppies torn from the field of war and red with the blood of the fallen. Don't send me orchids with their corruption of rust to remember pain gained from innocence. Don't send forget-me-nots trodden underfoot their colours trampled, along with dreams. Don't send me roses to be captured by their thorns and ensnared in their web of deception. Don't send sunflowers or daisies in full bloom reminders of misspent youth. Don't send flowers at all if you love me as you say bring me carnations – and stay. a good commitee can decimate communication. |

Now this WAS emotional! The greatest gift we can give loved ones is the gift of ourselves, freely given, lovingly bestowed. Nice one. Bea Grandma Bea |

Nicely done. Sometimes words are not meant to be said if you truly dont mean them. Poetry is just the evidence of life. |

"Don't send flowers at all if you love me as you say bring me carnations – and stay." To the point... Nice write. JL Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |
