I Took Flowers
Funny how we hope the little things can make all the difference

I Took Flowers
Quizmo LaGrande

I took flowers
Flowers for beginning
Flowers for an end
Flowers for blooming new awareness
Flowers to break the ice

I took hopes
Hopes of understanding
Hopes of compromise
Hopes that dreams be realized
Hopes flowers would suffice

Along with butterflies
Flirting with the rose
Two cast into four
Four to a million more
Fluttering sound advice

Are you gazing at the flowers
Hoping I will call
Are you wondering
What happened
As the petals start to fall?

I took flowers
I took hopes
I took dreams beyond our means
I left with little confidence
That flowers helped at all
