A Flower’s Journey

You ask if I will miss you?

If I shall reminisce?

Within this poem is the answer

For I do promise this

Whenever near the water

Underneath a pink sunset

I shall perform this duty

To prove I won't forget

I will pick a wild flower

Covered with evening dew

Place it on the water

And send it off to you

So that God will guide it

As it drifts toward the sea

I will bless it on its journey

With words of poetry

It will cover endless miles

Over countless brooks and streams

To serve as a reminder

That you're always in my dreams

I will send it on this journey

To fulfill one fantasy

That if ever you do find it

You will think of me

So late some summer's evening

As you're walking on the beach

If a crashing wave beside you

Places a flower within your reach

Know it is a token

That rests there at your feet

Proof of love unbroken

Its journey now complete
