| Wild Violets for Mother's Day painting by artist Paul Wolber |
Pink carnations at the prom
White lilies for the wedding
Roses on the five tier cake
The petals on their bedding
Honeysuckle in the yard
A garland on her head
Daisies in the garden with
the tulips bright and red
Perfume scented lavender
with just a touch of clove
Tucked within her diary
Saved mementos of her love
Violets pressed between the pages
from another life
Faded into memories
when she became a wife.

I used to have so many flower pressed memories. Thank you for reminding me and thank you for taking part inn the challenge!
What a wonderful image, and also a little sad that all those flowers faded into marriage.
Ah, the sweet dreams of young girls!
Young love brings lots of sweet memories. Pity marriage comes to intrude.

Such heart-warming sentiments :D
Loved this exquisite piece :D
This has a lovely lilting rhythm. I so enjoyed your array of flowers connected to the phases of life.
I think the fragrance of pressed memories is often stronger than the ones we find fresh in the garden--as you show us here, LM. Great cadence to this, along with the images that lead smoothly one to the next.
so does, as a wife, she no longer treasure flowers? ~
I kind of liked the pressed flower mementos after the fresh flower presentations. You know that lingering in a pleasant sort of way
Much love...
Beautiful - Love, Mosk
