Gentleman Of Flowers Poem by Ronald Chapman

The White Lotus,

Born from muddy, murky waters,
With its strength! Given from Heaven,
Never giving up,
Reaches for the Sky,

Heaven’s beauty,
A gift of white petals,

Floating in a world of cruelty,
Holding on to one's honor and purity,
Seems an impossible thing,

Never sinking,
One hundred days of rebirth,
Purity and resurrection,

Shows life's, potential,
After overcoming a world of muck.
