Tulip Bouquet for my Mother

The tulips are beautiful this year.



More than one person has commented on them and admired them aloud to me.



I gave you all the credit.


They said, "Who needs to go to the Tulip Festival?"


 I smiled modestly on your behalf.


But they are right.


These are just as beautiful as any I've seen in a professional garden.


I know that you are cold right now, and so I send their love to warm you. 


We know they are beautiful because of your love and hard work.


 I've been working on different kinds of flowers. 


These ones require a lot of hard work too, and patience and love.



And bring a similar kind of delight when I step back and look at how beautiful they are.



Thank you, Mom, for teaching me to love flowers.

  1. You are right, the flowers are beautiful. But your daughters are beyond beautiful. They are miraculous! You are doing a lot of wonderful things with them. I'd love to share the tulips with them, too. Love you all! Mom
