Flowers

A flower is like a beautiful star in a black sky. As it lays there, surrounded by nothingness,
It brings joy to those who behold it.
All it has to do is be there to bring someone happiness.
Perhaps this is why they tell us to
'say it with flowers'
A flower is a way to say you care,
A way to say you will be there
A simple rose,
red,
white,
or yellow,
can tell someone a lot
about how you feel for them.
Red being the most common and symbolizing eternal love.
Say it with a flower.
A flower is like a messenger, delivering a message,
a card is too little,
A gift may be too much,
but a flower can never be wrong.
