Weekly Flowers
Everyday, of every week
He comes and buys the same flowers
Monday it’s marigolds
A piece of gold and ray of sun
To begin the week anew
Tuesday it’s tulips
Red, yellow, white and pink
A rainbow to brighten the day
Wednesday it’s wallflowers
Purple and gold, four petals and all
Weirdly enough, they don’t grow on a wall
Thursday it’s tiger lilies
A fierce name for sure
But beautiful nonetheless
Friday it’s some forget me nots
A pretty little flower, and very blue
I hope he doesn’t forget me too
Saturday it’s snowdrops
Pretty and white
What else is there to say?
And finally on Sunday,
It’s sunflowers all around
Big balls of yellow to brighten up the day
Every day, of every week
Every month of every year
He buys the same seven flowers
One day I simple ask
“Why do you buy the same flowers
Day after day?”
He smiles and says,
“To see you smile of course
Because it always makes your day.”
I blush and smile
And thank him very much
And ask him if he would like to have some lunch
He says yes and off we go
And now along with flowers
We dine everyday
