you brought me flowers
for my runny nose
mostly carnations - pink
you gave me tissues
for my runny nose
your hands soft and sparkling
with all your jewels
(mom has one now)
you always reassured me
that i was loved
when my tears gave me
a runny nose
and i was okay

now i bring you flowers
mostly carnations - pink
i gave him tissues
for his runny nose
as he gently held your hand
(he loves you)
faces i see
reassure me
that you were proud -
that i was loved
as my tears
give me a runny nose
and i am okay
