Song of the Flower!

Song of The Flower!I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow!
My son lives in England as a rejected Refugee.
He loves a girl in Denmark.
She sent a Bouquet to my wife's birthday.
She lives in India is also a refugee.
She loves her future daughter-in-law.
She loves the flowers; she approved their love!
Flowers makes us happy;
flowers make our heart blossom!
Flowers carries our heart to others.
Adam's first gift to Eve was
flowers!
Adam gave flowers to Eve to make her happy!
Eve was very beautiful with flower garlands!
Adam made velvety bed with flowers for them!
Adam went in search of
flowers in the jungle!
He found roses, jasmines, lilies and flowers of all different colors and all varieties!
Eve was very fond of Adam, because of his gifts of flowers to her!
Eve became old and died. Adam duck a pit, filled it with many kinds of flowers and buried her with flowers.
The first man of the world has started the tradition of giving flowers to his loved one. We continue that habit even today. But now we have extended this habit of exchange flowers for Mothers' day, Fathers' day, Valentine's day, and many more.
So I conclude with Emily Dickinson's poem.I hide myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You,unsuspecting,wear me too--
And angels know the rest.
I hide myself within my flower,
That fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me,
Almost a loneliness!________________
