Are there flowers in heaven?

Jeremy Leach

Are there flowers in heaven? I really wish I knew

For I’d buy my mum the biggest bunch and give her a big hug too

 

She’d smile there with her paintbrush and study them with delight

And point to daisies and foxgloves, all their colours framed by white

 

The white of pure intentions, where souls begin anew

Are there flowers in heaven? I really wish I knew

    A fave for the idea and wonderful message of this poem. Why not do we think that we are the only ones worthy of heaven. If dogs don't go neither will we. Why would animals and plants far more worthy than us not have a soul. Besides heaven would be rather drab without color or other forms. Even Eden was a garden. A lovely write not to say the wonderful thought of giving a present to loved ones no gone on.

    A lovely touching write a very loving sentiment, we supposedly originated from a garden, so it would be a bit wrong if you got to the end of your journey and there isn't a garden, enjoyed the read
