LILLY
A seed as a start,
with sunshine, rain and air,
she blooms and glows.
Spring brings growing, changing, blossoming,
ignites in quiet splendor,
A splendor of beauty,
A floral delight.
Sunshine in its eternal grace,
Calls into the world her vivid colors,
Revealing strength and vibrancy.
From a seed became a blossom,
A Flower of Life.
