The Blossoms of Spring

The Blossoms of Spring
By David E. Siegel, copyright (c) 2013
 
How sweet are the blossoms of spring
with delicate scent fill the air
They truly are 'fit for a king'.
 
Their petals are dainty and fair
as I look on them with amaze
with delicate scent fill the air.
 
I quietly think as I gaze
"Each different, but always the same"
as I look on them with amaze.
 
Their lives are so brief, what a shame
like snowflakes that melt as you touch;
Each different, but always the same.
 
Some single, and some in a bunch
but all of them fragile and soft
like snowflakes that melt as you touch.
 
Now detached from the branch and aloft
How sweet are the blossoms of spring
They are all of them fragile and soft
They truly are 'fit for a king'.
