The Pink Carnation
by Debbie S.
My Sweet Mom, Bea
7/2010 (My mom's 3rd year in heaven) On the stand next to my bed sits a pink carnation bloom, I gaze at it, and drift into a dream. And in this flower's meaning you can take this as you wish, If you listen close you'll see just what I mean. In the dream I see my mother, placing flowers in a vase, She smiles at me, in wonderment, I sigh. In my hand she sets one flower, "Please hold it near your heart, when you miss me most hold tight, try not to cry." I woke up and was wishing, "Dream, please don't ever end." A dream about my mother is so sweet. Carnations were her favorite and she made that known to me, when I leave this earth I'll bring them when we meet. 2000 years, so long ago, this is what they say, this flower's special meaning is so rare. My mom was trying to tell me, that the bloom was meant for me, It means a mom's undying love and loving care. On the stand next to my bed, sits a pink carnation bloom, I gaze at it, yet still I start to cry. I shut my eyes, and dream again, My mom - she wipes my tears and tells me, "Dear, our love will never die."
