Were lots of flowers for sale at
The grocery store.
I spied an elderly man bending over
Perusing the blooms at one of the
Displays.
He would pick up a bunch, examine it,
And then stick it back in its
Container.
I considered asking if I could help, but
I restrained myself.
He was capable.
Later, I saw the gentleman standing by
The checkout line holding the pretty
Posies in his hands.
I noticed he was smiling.
I wondered who the recipient of his
Gift would be,
Most likely an elderly wife with a
Well lined face like his.
(Although I could be totally wrong.)
I wondered whether she would be
Surprised and if she would give her
Gift giver a kiss.
Would she realize how fortunate she was to
Receive a lovely hand picked bouquet on
Valentine's Day?
