A Poem Lovely As a Flower

A poem lovely as a flower! How could one not be moved By a blossoming beauty in celestial contours grooved A flower is grace and elegance incarnate It is fragrance and loveliness- aggregate Burning in flame, bedecking hills and vales, Some bloom to die unnoticed in lonely isles! Nodding in glee with the gentle touch of winds They remain bees’ and butterflies’ bosom friends In beautiful parlors, they proudly reside Over the freshly dug up graves, they sadly preside Like stars in the firmament, on Earth they shine Who else other than God, their beauteous form design?

There is some truth in it ! I always hate cutting flowers from my garden to decorate the drawing room... I would rather buy ! Thanks a lot Rico
