Flowers

Silky soft and in full bloom

The joys that chase away the gloom!

Bright with cheer and generous with smiles

That bring hope and rejoicing all the while

Yes flowers singing under the sky

Land-bound but their melodies fly!

As they seek to bless the day

And reach out to the bright sun’s rays

They are smiles personified

Radiant in the morning light

The earth drapes them on in delight

In a crown sweet and bright

And the world is filled with their scent

As under the gentle winds they’re bent

And they tell the world the secrets they know

And sing them in a whisper low

For hopes, dreams and life in songs

Wrapped in blooms are forever strong

Written are they in a heavenly art

That never touches the mind without touching the heart

So let them bloom and let them glow

And bring joy to every high and low

And in that instant of eternity before they go

They would have lightened many a soul

May K.
