Give Me My Flowers While I Yet Live
Sun-kissed moments, joy not to miss, Roses red, in daylight's bliss. Clarity today, no haze to strive, Love's warm words, feeling alive. Silence awaits, sing your song, Life’s brief, love strong and long. Flowers now, their scent to give, In love we share, in memories we live. Sunset’s glow, day’s last drive, Cherishing now, feeling alive. Stars above, in night’s gentle weave, Hearts full, in love we believe.
