Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

This poem is dedicated to my new little granddaughter, Zinnia Leiser, who was born on October 22, 2019. :)

Zinnia

A precious bud was born this hour 
a lovely little Zinnia flower 
her soft new petals grace the stage
with newness of life, a beautiful babe.

With a halo of fine sweet angel hair
no other has entered the world so fair
with sapphire eyes and cherubic charms
she’s carefully placed in her mother’s arms.

As her new mom weeps and her father sighs
this sacred moment cannot be denied
for heaven has sent a gift this hour
a pure and priceless Zinnia flower.
