By Any Other Name

Your sweet allure seduces butterflies in flight Thy beauty charms the dew of dawn Your fragrance is such sweet delight To your bouquet lovers are drawn With each color that adorns you Your beauty remains unmatched Each color has a meaning too; Purity, if adorned in white You bestow friendship with yellow hues Joy thrives in petals pink In any hue your beauty never shrinks Red bouquet means love is true Love by any other name, is you 3/30/17
