Heather

Hundreds of bells rang out,
Honoring her name, 
Heather! 
They shouted with pride,
We love you,
Independent strong and wise,
Beauty beholds you,
Your worthiness we admire,
Your kindness surpasses many,
Combination of quality,
The room always a light,
Senses shining bright,
Fragrance scented,
Flowering forever, 
In Gods sight,
Not only a spectacular color,
Pure purple delight,
You’re a medicine,
Warmth of tea inside,
So versatile your actions,
Regarded with overwhelming value,
A symbol of good fortune,
Wealth and healing too,
Spread your wings, 
My angel,
Blossom like you do.

The song "Heather Honey" by Tommy Roe came to my mind the first moment I saw this admirable writing. Good work!
