My Favorite Carnations

Like frills and laces on gowns; like wisdom and wit inter-spun;
Joy-filling; peace-expressing; like sparks of the evening sun;
Large, dwarf, spray... your blossoms shine in forms and types vivacious,
In charm, splendor and exuberance you seem so gracious...!

Glorious in garlands; floral queen of coronation; 
What devotee would avoid you, from God's adoration?  
Spring-seasonal sun and moisture you splendidly relish,
Symbolizing heart-beats, gardens and minds you embellish...!

Like frills and laces on gowns…love that imagery! My mom loved carnations. I also love the old song…a white sports coat and a pink carnation. Indeed a carnation is a floral queen of coronation. Wonderful choice. ~ Kim
