Forever Flower Friend
He met her
long before he knew that love would ever live.
He met her
long before he had much of himself to give.
But soon
he knew that flowers grew, and sun shined in the sky;
And when
he couldn't give to them he had to stop and cry,
"I'll love
you 'till the sun above beneath the earth descends.
I'll love
you 'till the flowers die; 'till then you'll be my friend."
And so he
loved her 'till the sun did from the sky descend.
He loved
her 'till the flowers died, but this was not the end.
Though
flowers come and flowers go, he loved her as before,
For love
that was at flower-time will last forevermore.
And so,
each year at flower-time, he visits her again
With a
gift of flowers for Forever Flower Friend.
