Thank You, Mystery Giver

Updated on February 18, 2015

XCII.


Some thoughtful, dear person sent me these Christmas Tulips with the lovely candy-cane vase! Also included in the florist's box was a little box of chocolates. Yum! What was missing was the identify of such a gracious giver of a beautiful gift!

I so want to thank you! If you see this hub, accept my joyful thanks! Your gift warmed my heart and as you see in the photo, - it has graced my coffee table, which was in its usual disarray; but was made more beautiful by the festive bouquet.


The glorious tulips!


An anonymous gift of flowers -

A complete surprise!

Sent with only these

Words of identity -

"love you" -

Clearly meant to please,

And they do!


How puzzling!

How wonderful!

How perplexing!

How exciting!

It gives me pause.


So was it ~ YOU?


Of course,

I cannot really ask you,

It would embarrass.


But know that

I love you, too,

For being so nice -

My secret Santa Claus.

If you did decide to

'Come clean' and tell me,

I'd be ever so glad!

If not, of course -

I can't be mad. . .

At -YOU!



~ Thank you with all my heart and my best to you and yours!! ~
