White Lily

"What kind of flower
Pulls us into the future
And offers us hope?"
She turned away, hid her face,
And softly spoke, "White Lily."

P.S. Forgot to say that I appreciate that you called my attention to my confusing Cinquain and Haiku. I did so on several poems, and made that correction. Somehow, I had confused the two. Thank you, and keep writing your lovely poems. Carrie
