Surprise Spider Lilies
Sheer fine batiste settles in the hollow
Like a ghostly creature who at night roams
Longs to float over dewdrops who follow
'Til sun's rays bring the hearse and funeral home
Surprise Spider Lilies blossoms' stand straight
A reminder of mother's few flowers
Ones she planted then she's have to wait
For those soft spring showers to empower
Down where the rain lilies now blossom
Without any soft rain 'pon the garden
Where death of summer's flowers a problem
And elderly who live there death certain
Will there linger any flowers alive
In memory of life's beauty abide
