With frill-edged petals, in red, white, orange and yellow,
Beauteous daffodils gorgeously gleam and glow;
With long, wide, collaterally aligned leaves stand erect,
Tulips of all colors, as though in beauty so perfect;
Blue urn shaped flowers thrill-filled dancing,
Muscari stands as though glory-glaring;
Nodding with bell-shaped flowers, Lily of the valley,
Stands solemn with its glossy leaves with no folly;
Flowers, indeed, make my spring gloriously great,
My soul, a butterfly midst them, joyfully does elevate;
Their tentativeness, when, my mind alternates,
Rebirth and resurrection, like seeds, in me, germinate...!

Spring Garden
Magnolia Tree at my garden gate welcomes guests.
First spring flower blooms on top and gaily rests.
Witch Hazel shrubs show second spring flower to burst,
spraying shiny golden touch, quenching eyes' thirst.
Delightful Daffodils are my deepest pleasure,
Splendid Spring attribute precious treasure.
Small bulbs of Sciiia in sapphire blossom
ignite azure dream in grief-stricken bosom.
Rhododendron erects arrogant perches with red posies.
Beneath tall Tulips, Muscari bulbs embrace green grasses.
Hyacinths garnish garden gorgeous in color and fragrance.
Primrose is the jewel of garden to perceive just on a glance.
Peonies on hedge shrubs appear in the last scene,
to bid bye to Spring, the Queen of the seasons.

She’ll be there in your life,
She’ll be there in your dreams.
She’ll be there when you want to talk,
All you have to do is pray.
She’s your guardian angel,
She’ll never let you down.
When you think of her you’ll never frown.
You’ll see her in the clouds,
And even in the sea.
She’ll be there when you need her,
And whenever you want her to be.
You know she loves you,
And she knows you love her too.
Never worry if she’s there,
Because she’ll always be watching over you.
