Flowers of my Heart - Anita

If carnations reign
 and tulips are second
       and
   lilies are third

Flowers of my heart designed
      to live one more time
             to hear the beating of
the rain
    while you hold the umbrella
up
         while you run for the car
I stand up straight
   straighter than before
My height 5.6inches tall
    as you start all there is to start

I wanted to be your friend
so much more was happenning here
the lutes are playing
the bells are ringing
time waits for the balloon to take flight
I wanted to be your friend
You reached out to me
Compassion is the link
In dark glasses, I start my day
They become rose=colored with the thought
of you out there" rushing in your own river"
as I rush in mine.
