Garden Flower (Cristina) Poem by Javier Falcon

Even though I saw you once in my garden,
I knew that it was all just right,
as all I can do is ask for pardon,
seeing you shine your beauty so bright.

Through rain and snow you stay strong,
seeing your outer shell blush through,
as through the coral petals seeps a song,
a melody which is heard only by a few.

As gentle petals you blew into my life,
bringing all your colors along your side,
all the smiles you show without strife,
being completely open with nothing to hide.

And even with the storms which are out to come,
only more sturdy can our love become,
because even as these hard winds blew,
I held you tight and said, ' I love you.'
