As I hold them in my hand
I realize this is not what I had planned.

I would have rather seen your eyes,
your expression so full of surprise.

But I give them to you full of my love
hoping you are viewing them from up above.

I can sit with you as I cut the length.
Placing each one it takes all of my strength.

I picked for you each and every perfect rose,
in this bouquet are the colors you love I suppose

Each one is sent to you as I give it a kiss.
I hope it finds you, the one that I miss!

Happy Birthday Mom
