names have power

what you call them

what they answer to

my love we call each other

boo

and we respond to

boo

so much trust and love

built into that name

and history it came

from a flower delivery

and it has the power

to last ages

when life gives you lemons

hope you get to keep them

war crimes may displace you

and destroy those trees
