Notes About The Poem

When Fuchsia Zinnias Disappear

The zinnias  purchased were of fuchsia
        
          Then reproduction died

      All the beauty's contribution
     
                    Left garden's side

Sadness filled lovers' hearts; tore them apart

          Gold zinnias left, too
    
      She decided green ones to start

                    Some orange, not blue 

Patience grows a garden, prayer gives hope

          Love covers many sins

      Giving the faithful means to cope

                    Right always wins

Fuchsia, hot pink, magenta means deep and everlasting love
Yellow means warmth and happiness
Green means nature, renewal, growth, and emotion
Orange means health and vitality
