An Orchid to my Wife on Mother’s Day.
Just to say I’m not forgetting
All the things you’ve done for me
Just to say that thoughts of you are
Just as dear as they can be!
Just to tell you as a Wife
You are all that’s good and fine,
And I always will be thankful
And mighty glad you are mine!
Daddy and Ronnie
Guess you will have to buy your own flowers this year.
