My Mom just passed. She always said the same idea as your poem. I would love to recite it at her memorial, with your permission.

At last! Several years ago, found this poem in the newspaper and cut it out...put it under glass on top of my bureau......relating this lovely thought, flowers now, wonderful! So informed family of this sweet, sweet thought..flowers to enjoy now...life has been a loving bouquet of flowers from all my sons...I am now up in years, and have sincerely enjoyed this poem...it has been a source of many smiles, tears, and love expressed to me while I am still here...thank you, Randy Mcclave

Yes, a perfect poem expressing this wise idea. I hate killing flowers to cut them. They are a marvelous gift for the living. But I think the dead should have dead flowers.

Wonderful piece of art! great diction and flow. Natural feelings carefully crafted into artistic piece of art. Indded, if we want to show love to people, let us do it when they are alive and can appreciate but not when they are no more. Time is never a friend of man. Good work! Bring me flowers Randy!

Thank you for your comment, and sorry for the delay, I had two deaths in my family. My mom always said to me, give me flowers while I am living.
