Where Flowers Never Grow

You sure had a way with the flowers

And knew how to make them grow

You said it's in the care you give

And in all the love you show

You would often talk to the roses

And sing to the morning glories

You gave them water to quench their thirst

And sometimes you read them stories

We buried you in an empty grave

Where flowers never grow

But when we laid you in the ground

You became the flower's soul

The roses sprang toward the sky

Inspired by all your love

As if to thank the Father

In the Heavens up above

You sure had a way with the flowers

And though you had to go

Your love will live forever

Where the flowers never grow

Great title and a well-crafted poem with a simple message that love is even in the desolate places.

This is a lovely piece. I like the flow, the rhyming. It's classic, it's good. =)
