As time goes by
give thanks for those
whose influence
perfumes your life.
Loved ones, closest friends,
on whom true happiness depends.
These are the flowers,
exotic blooms
whom Fate portends
decorate life's garden.
They outclass weeds that
insidiously stray
and in our heart
try to stay.
Thank God for each exquisite flower
exuding friendship's prestigious power.
As time goes by
give thanks for those
whose influence
perfumes your life.
