Beata Agustin Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

 

*1 Peter 1:24-25 For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

EVERLASTING FLOWER

My presence in your garden is precious
as timeless treasure that radiates glowing colors 
of brown, orange, pink, red, violet, white, and yellow
symbolizing everlasting love, vibrant hope, and remembrance
since I can last for a long time --- to showcase my decorative usefulness~~~
I am called Everlasting Flower with botanical name, Helichrysum bracteatum. 

Growing midst full sun in well-drained soils
I am relatively pest free, yet a friend to butterflies…
My resilience is due to natural resin content I possess
acting as preservative for me to retain my God*-endowed structure
testifying triumphant existence blest along nature’s enduring artistry~~~
My common labels include Strawflower and Yellow Paper Daisy Flower.

*1 Peter 1:24-25 For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
