1. Delicate petals of lavender Monte Casinos.
2. Roses as shiny as porcelain taking center stage.
3. Carnations in butterfly hues mingle with the floral performers using their scent to invade the empty room.
4. Daisy Poms is so ridiculous, happy looking, a subtle reminder that playfulness is not gone.
5. Greenery "I am here, I am here."
6. Ti Leaf ribbon gathering, embracing quietly counseling me to do the same.
7. Another one arrives.
8. Another one arrives.
9. Intoxicating sweetness choking the sterile room.
10. Floral performers trying hard to boost spirits so dark.
11. She would have loved seeing these flowers.
12. Stupid me!
13. She is seeing them; she is right here.
14. A floral sorrowful symphony.
15. Encircling her cold colorless marble urn.

Today is the third anniversary of my Mom's passing. She loved flowers. I dedicate this poem to her.

This was a wonderful tribute to your mom. Sending you lots of love and hugs 🥺❤️
Aww, it gets easier over time. Beautiful poem and photo and I loved how you put this together. 💕
Prayers & blessings to you, Daphne. We may no longer see them with our eyes or hold them in our arms, but they are never far from our thoughts & always held in our hearts.
Simply beautiful and a perfect way to remember a loved one.
A cleverly written tribute to your dear Mum.
