When you give flowers as gifts
You see the person’s anxiety drifts
Flowers are a logo of tenderness
And mean a lot more than you think
Flowers are a tribute to the dead
They show sympathy, love and regret
They scent up the area with the ray of positivity
And support all near and dear to the deceased
Flowers are a symbol of love
Known to signify Aphrodite* as beautiful as dove
They signify your mother’s unconditional love
On how she raised you up – just as a gardener raises a plant to bloom later
Flowers show devotion to god
The burning of incense represents the fragrant scent of morality of your lord
They represent the aspiration to achieve the body of the ultimate power
And also the teaching of impermanence
*Aphrodite- goddess Venus
