A Glow of Marigolds

A   GLOW   OF   MARIGOLDS

Still they smile in cold November:
Cheery children warm as fire
Reject the sadness song of winter
And glow with glory like heaven’s choir.

Golden faces bright and glowing,
Fiery angels fighting death
Through the chill, grim and growing,
Of winter’s unforgiving breath.
