Flowers of old and new: Happy Valentines Day

Picture by me
These are the flowers we picked and cut that one day with my son, mom
I keep them handy by the kitchen sink
It reminds me of you
Even if we don't get along
Or have troubles that cannot be easily split
I'll look at the flowers, I will think of you
The freshness has worn, weathered and dried
But for some reason, even when I'm sad
The color of the flowers have remained
Reminding me of keeping faith, hope
Love inside
The colors are still so bright, keeping its own hue
Mom, it helps me through
Yes, like you
I love you mom, Have a colorful Valentine’s Day

beautiful flowers
Simply an emotionally beautiful work of poetry Melissa - thank you for sharing this with us all. Makes me realise what and why I do much the very same kind of thing on Valentine's Day.
Even as the flowers wilt, the memories remain as fresh and lovely. Well-wrought!
Happy Valentine's Day, Melissa!
It's what's inside that counts. Loved your poem and photos!

Lovely words and images Sis 💗
