Picked Just For You
It was a quiet and early morning
While I sat drinking my first cup
And thinking to myself I was all alone
Till I heard the barks from my pup
What could it be that was out in the yard
That would cause my dog to whine
And as I quickly hurried to the door
I thought this dog had lost its mind
Slowly I walked from front to back
Seeing nothing that appeared to be wrong
When seemingly out of nowhere
A child with flowers was singing a song
With flowers kissed with morning dew
His outstretched arms beckoned me
These daises I picked for you MeMaw
For I love you don't you see
The smell of heaven was in the air
As I held my little one tight
Placing the flowers in a vase
So they would be in everyone's sight
We spoke of the days he spent here on earth
And of his days now residing in Heaven
Of how much he was loved and missed
Since he left us at the age of seven
To soon he said it was again time to go
For he must return from whence he came
With a trembling voice I told him
My life will never be the same
I have come today to see you my MeMaw
These flowers I picked just for you
And keep them forever and always
As my gift when you are feeling blue
Suddenly a gentle tap upon my window sill
Caused me to slowly raise my head
Where a moment before stood my grandson
Was now an image of a dove instead
I then ran quickly to my door
Surprisingly I found it locked
It seemed no one had entered in
When suddenly there came a knock
I opened the door with excitement
Not knowing just what I would find
There stood the children from next door
Asking to pick flowers and if I'd mind
We are going to visit our grandmother
Who this day is feeling sad and blue
And we would like to bring her flowers
Could you please spare just a few
Pick as many as you want I said
For I am a grandmother too
The gift of love is shown many ways
Especially flowers when picked by you
The children smiled and picked their flowers
And as they went on their merry way
I realized I had only been dreaming
Or was I ? ..Who is to say ?
As I reflected back on the days events
I noticed daises all covered with dew
Sitting within such a beautiful vase
And a note, MeMaw I picked these for you
