As the flower blossoms, and the scent permeates the air
It brings back memories of a moment of despair
When my beloved Mum left to some unknown place in death
And I cried, and cried, till I could not get my breath
As the flower opens to feed the honey bird
I had thoughts today of my mother, some would say was quite absurd
I thought of Gods creation, of the earth,the sea, the sky
And wondered if animals, fish and birds do cry!
I know that they feel hurt, if wounded and lame
But tears don't fall from their eyes, all claim
The beautiful flower has a power of its own
The sweetness of nectar to the honeybird is shown
Mum you are in my thoughts today remembering yesteryear
And I am filled with those memories, and cannot hide that tear.
