Edward Ebbs Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

My Lilly

Oh my sweet Lilly
stately and true
graceful and long
soft and delicate
so angelic
white and pure
everlasting
like love should
when in bloom
brightening a spring
with tenderness
an aroma
like a sweet perfume
touching my heart
leaving a song
of memories
you are beautiful
the color in life
you are my Lilly
I love you
