IF I WROTE A POEM FOR FLOWER,
I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
HOW CAN SUCH A LITTLE CRITTER
AFFECT ME THIS WAY?
IF I WROTE A POEM FOR FLOWER,
HOW COULD I MAKE HER SEE?
LITTLE GIRL, YOU REALLY DID
A NUMBER ON ME.
IF I WROTE A POEM FOR FLOWER,
I'D LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH SHE'S MISSED.
THE LOVE SHE GAVE, THE STRENGTH SHE SHOWED,
THE KALAHARI DESERT SHE KISSED.
IF I WROTE A POEM FOR FLOWER,
DO YOU THINK SHE'D UNDERSTAND?
HOW CAN WE SHOW HER WHAT SHE MEANT TO US,
HER LIFE, AND LEGACY, HOW GRAND!
IF I WROTE A POEM FOR FLOWER,
IT WOULD BE TOO HARD TO DO.
DEAR LITTLE WHISKER,
WE'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

Beautiful poem. You expressed alot of things I feel too. I hope Flower knows now how much we all love her!

Thanks korkiemama, you speak for me. Lovely

Yo korkiemama

A beautiful salute to a beautiful ladykat.

We all miss her so much. There will never be another Flower as special as she.

I'm glad you found out how to edit your post.

BTW just in case you don't know writing in all capital letters is considered shouting. Please don't type in all caps unless you mean to have something shouted at the top of your lungs. I doubt that such a gentle poem would be taken this way but it's a just in case you didn't know....

oops, sorry pronker, i didn't mean to shout. i've only been using a computer for about a month now and i have alot to learn. i hope that i didn't offend anybody. so if i make mistakes along the way, please feel free to correct me. thanks

Don't worry about it. I had to get used to the computer too and learn what to do and what not to do. Again your poem is beautiful.

thanks eruth66. i'm 53 and just starting to enter the 21st century. hope i don't mess up too much again!

I'm 41 and I never thought I would want a computer. I had lived all my life without one and I thought when they started being popular in the 90's that I wouldn't get one. Now I can't live without it and I am learning new things everyday on it.

boy i'm really glad that i'm not the only one that's behind the times. my son moved back in and set this up for me and he expected me to know what i'm doing. HA! do you think he's paying me back for being a bad mother?

korkiemama - you did write a poem for Flower - and it was very beautiful - thanks -

korkiemama,

I am sure that you are not a bad mother. You wrote a wonderful poem for Flower, so you sound like a nice person.
Are you enjoying watching Meerkat Manor? I am. It is my favorite show.

This is the best poem I've read. It talks like me. This should be in capitals to shout to the world.....

Korkiemama,

You are definitely not the only computer newbie. I'm so new to this that I don't even know how everyone else puts the little smiley and frownie faces on!!!
Also I may be the last person in America without a cellphone!

squirrellygirly,

To add a smiley face or some kind of face just click on the smiley face above where you type your reply. Pick what whatever face you want and click on it.
