Flowers

I picked this
Flower for you
Because you
Deserve it!

I picked this
Flower for you
For when
You are blue.

I picked these
Flowers for you,
The ones in
Your pictures you keep.

I picked these
Flowers for you
Because you
Are my Mom.

I picked this
Flower for you
And you pressed it
And I kept it
Close to my heart.
