The Rarest Flower
Lovely as lilies
and sweet as peas
Emily loves Josh
like shamrocks are lucky
Josh loves Emily
like sunflowers love sun
Glad as gladiolas
Gold as chrysanthemums
Happy as daisies
We’re pleased as bees
For Josh and Emily’s
blooms and blessings
As dear as dahlias
in every color
Their forget-me-not love
is the rarest flower

I missed you all, Sherry! This nursery rhyme is the new take on Josh’s childhood one: Joshua Johnny loved his mommy more than apricots and honey. He gave her a hug. He gave her a kiss. He loved her more than licorice.
