Flowers
(for Mother's Day)

Take these precious flowers
they are just for you
They are a token of my love
of all that we've been through.

These flowers are so special
as you are to me
And after all the years with you
you've always loved me.

These flowers give you everything
even if they died too
They give you all my love
and show I'm thinking of you.

So take these lovely flowers
that show our love for each other
Without you I wouldn't be here,
they are your credit, Mother.
