Dennis Robleski - The Flower Lyrics

She saw the paper in his hand
She saw excitement in his eyes
A homemade birthday card
Yes, love can be customized
Stick figures with dotted eyes
Giant smiles from ear to ear
Two people in a field of flowers
Sharing a moment of cheer
She opened the card to words
She read with tearful eyes
A silent read, a look of love
At a poem that she memorized
In the meadow over the hill
There's a flower ever still
Though wind and rain may try
The flower will never die
A beautiful light for all
Ever strong and standing tall
Asking what it can do
To chase away your blues
His card had a place of honor
In her heart and on the wall
But when memories kept comin'
She had to make room for them all
Then one day she discovered
In her bedroom dresser drawer
The homemade birthday card
A buried treasure she adored
She opened the card to words
She read with tearful eyes
A silent read, a look of love
At a poem that she memorized
In the meadow over the hill
There's a flower ever still
Though wind and the rain may try
The flower will never die
A beautiful light for all
Ever strong and standing tall
Asking what it can do
To chase away your blues
She showed him the card
Made twenty years ago
He smiled and said
Mom, I hope you know
The meadow in the poem
Was the place that I called home
And the flower was you, it was you
In the meadow over the hill
There's a flower ever still
Though wind and rain may try
The flower will never die
A beautiful light for all
Ever strong and standing tall
Asking what it can do
To chase away your blues
