Delicate and fragile,
So lovely to the eye -
One of heaven's beauties
Tumbled from the sky;
Come to rest upon the earth,
This lovely little flower -
Awakend by the morning sun,
Warming by the hour;
Raising up her lacey head,
Fanning out her petals -
A flash of velvet brilliance
Standing tall among the nettles;
Perhaps a gift sent from the gods
To brighten up the world,
Reflecting answers to our prayers
On petals now unfurled;
A fleeting ray of sunshine,
An angel feather lost -
A breath of heaven's sweet perfume
Released from midnight's frost;
Just a little springtime flower
Warmed by earth's embrace -
Sent to bring a smile to all
Who gaze upon her face.
This reminds me of when my mother use to make bedspreads with her tropical flowers each one breathtaking, just like this poem. Thank you very much for sharing that...she use to love flowers.
