Birthday Flowers



Daisies, snapdragons and lilies
greeted me tonight.
A birthday gift from my son,
who is far away
living in a university dorm
broke
like most students.

My empty nest heart
(bleeding last night)
feels full, loved, happy.

I know the feeling. This brought a lump to my throat. My son is home today so Dad can fix his car (again!)

A broke but thoughtful son!

Ah! If children only knew what power they wield with so little :) What a wonderful and thoughtful thing for your son to do.
