Dried flowers are talking
With rich rose hues still
They marked an achievement
Or a student’s skill
Dried flowers are talking
Their bright spring buds fell
Standing by the bedside
For one to get well
Dried flowers are talking
In wilted bouquets
Petal-scattered aisles
Of happy wedding days
Dried flowers are talking
Laid at the grave
To close this life’s journey
Sweet memories to save
