Hi Zarah

Every summer when Tiger Lilly is in bloom,

Can't help but smile and remember that day

When you came back from Davao with a pasalubong for me

Something green, alive and needs TLC.

So I named your gift Tiger Lilly.

Kasi sabi mo, "Orchid yan, Sam".

That was in the late 1990s.

Yet the blooms never came until 2004!

The seven years of summer-in-between?

Sunshiny days with a hint of rain.

Butterflies came.

Long days. Short nights. Waiting.

And today, BFF Zarah -

These blooms are for you.

Bad weather or bed weather

We will be BestFriendsForever!
