If I Could Give You Flowers

by Jackie Garpow - Leo

If I could pick some flowers
I would tie them with a bow
I'd only pick the perfect ones
That bloomed within the snow
You deserve the very best
for others just won't do
An Angel told me where to find
the perfect flower for you
It's red, with a golden trim
as perfect as can be
Just like the love I have for you
that lives inside of me
If I could give you flowers
they would last through all the years
They'd bloom until forever
as long as you are near

Reason for writing:

    My mother was very ill with cancer.  She loved wild flowers.
I couldn't give her wildflowers in January. She inspired this poem which I gave to her instead.
She went to live in heaven February 13, 2000.
Dedicated to a wonderful Mom: Joanne McGan
