Yellow roses unexpected
With baby's breath and fern
All 12 accounted for
You never know
What you do
May bring you joy
Just in the giving
Or what someone
Else may give you
A pleasant surprise
In either case
Do what you can
You never know.
How beautiful! I love surprise flowers. At work, we do secret pals in the spring, and mine got me a bouquet of those brightly-colored daisies that were just what I needed to drive out the winter gray and bring in spring's bright sun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this--in a poem!
Yellow roses are my absolute favorite. My hubby just bought me some a couple of weeks ago. Yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bunch of roses. Yellow roses were what my father always gave my mother on their anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI struggled with writing a poem tonight and had to give up and look at you! Beautiful flowers! : )
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great poem - and lesson. "Do what you can" - words to live by.
ReplyDeleteI think you just wrote the nicest thank you, Tam. I imagine your friends appreciate it as much as you love the flowers. 'Do what you can/you never know" Exactly!
ReplyDeleteMany times you just literally "never know" the good you've done, but it's nice to find out every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteYellow roses are my favorite. I carried a single yellow rose when I got married 40 years ago come September! Don't they just have the best smell?
