California Poppy
Her seed is tossed into the wind
Whirled from palms of nature's hand
By helter skelter randomness
The green and brown become a bliss
Scattered poppies across the land
Like butterflies, their beauty graces
The hills, valleys, and roadside places
A world comes alive with a golden glow
Like polished gems, where weeds would grow
Those scattered seeds will multiply
Take root, add warmth under summer skies
The beauty of her heart of gold
Will bloom with orange, so bright and bold
In winter storm a sleep begins
Until the thaw, when rains begin
A state is proud to bear her bloom
Her beauty never comes too soon
