After a very long day,
I walked into a dark house,
my family already asleep,
and discovered a special delivery:
flowers from a dear friend
who just wanted me
to take time to celebrate me.
They weren’t for an anniversary,
a death, a birth…
but simply for me.
What an amazing feeling.
And a wonderful reminder
that there’s no need to wait
for a special occasion
to grace a close friend or loved one
with a surprise gift.
In fact, if it appears out of the blue,
it will be all the more meaningful.
Trust me – I now know!
