Flowers are a gift of love
and if your heart is true-
Gather not roses, ruby red
tied in ribbons of blue.
But to prove your faithfulness
and love forever more-
Bring me lilacs- bouquets of lilacs-
gather lilacs at my door.
For dearer than candy or jewelry or wine-
In life, my treasure is this:
Bring me lilacs- bouquets of lilacs-
Just lilacs and a kiss.
And should I someday pass from earth-
Upon my grave, I request no stone-
Just a lilac- a beautiful lilac
that will be mine alone.
Just a lilac-a beautiful lilac
before I travel home.

Lilacs are my favorite flowere also. Mom always loved her lilacs. The smell is wonderful. If we should be so lucky, we will die in the early summer so we can have lilacs placed upon our graves. Not sure if we can have lilacs in winter.
So all of you bloggers reading....and you are related...bring me lilacs and place upon my grave.
I too, love lilacs as their smell is so wonderful but the bloom life is so short. Maybe that is what causes the amazing scent they spread every where! Gail
