    When the sun shines down
    on the flower fields of dew
    and the moon pushes back
    to let the day shine a new
    the flowers stand tall
    ready in their glory
    To whisper unheard words
    that tell of their own story


    The Calla lillies
    in different hues
    bring delicasy to the
    eyesight
    And the carnation tall
    with all its petals
    is just so bloomin brite!

    The chrysanthemum across
    the field requires
    it's own space
    it's roots are deep
    and it's branches wide
    and it's flowers
    fill your face

    The Brown-Eyed Susan
    and the Dandelion
    mix exquisitely
    But a cyclamen here
    and fresia there
    will break up
    the monotomy

    It shouldn't come
    as any surprise for
    the lobelia to
    make a show
    It knows it's blue
    to be more lovely
    than any in the dell

    The pretty poppy
    so graceful and devine
    will never look as
    beautiful as the
    moonflower opening
    nightly on it's vine

    Those White Baby Breaths
    sitting near the tulips
    don't have much to say
    they know their job is beauty
    this couldn't be a finer day
