I Got Flowers Today
I got flowers today, from hands that love,
Their petals soft as whispers from above.
Crimson, yellow, pink, a vibrant spree,
Each one silently speaks to me.
Morning's light through petals, a delicate dance,
In colors of love, in every glance.
"Forever," they seem to softly say,
In hues that brighten even the gray.
Midday sun casts shadows, long and lean,
Upon my flowers, in daylight's sheen.
They stand, a testament to love's gentle power,
A beacon of warmth, in the noonday hour.
As evening falls, their colors still bright,
Against the dusk, they are my light.
They whisper stories of love, so true,
A gift from him, my heart's rendezvous.
Night's embrace finds them still aglow,
I got flowers today, and love does show.
In their beauty, a promise, ever so right,
In petals and stems, our love takes flight.
