The Wild Lilly

I knew some plant pieces by your name 
When my father tried to persuade me 
To be his successor as a TCM practitioner 
I have not seen your beauty until recently 
When my wife made our garden your home 

I was confused by these controversial facts 
That someone like my wife value Your beauty 
While others like my father deplete your life
For their own purposes ?
