Flowers Bloom Little drops of colour, Splashing through the darkened age, Small delicate forms of beauty, Such fragrance each one gave. Every tiny petal, every vine, and leaf unfurled Gives us joy and happiness In this busy harried world. You were the flower in our lives Mom Keep on blooming, We will miss you, until we meet again, we love you. Written by Judy Spicer
