A ROSE for my Birthday

A ROSE for my Birthday



My birthday fell on a weekend 
but I was surprised to receive 
a rose from my son, Kurt. 

When he got home from school
afternoon of June 28... he handed me 
with a shy-mannered gesture,
 a single stem with a red rose
 in full bloom and greeted me in advance.

He said, he wanted to buy a bunch
 but his money could only afford one. 
I felt so touched with this simple 
yet meaningful expression of love.
