Beauty beyond imagination, acres of splendor far as eye can see Bring joy and peace, quiescence to otherwise burdened minds Your great gift of spirit to us through nature our serendipity finds Gathering and savoring reds, purples, yellows, garnets and blues Like jewels spread on green velvet a priceless treasure grove Effort and love magnified by each gem planted in your trove Bless with these wild floral works those of us who pass en tour Each hesitation, each restful moment, brief freedoms from life’s trials Put deposits in memories’ accounts for later fond nostalgic smiles These living things bear fruit, whose unlimited propagation we can design You show by example, and inspire us to mime your splendid ocean’s tones For next season’s glory, your floral children’s spawn, we take unto our homes Becoming more like you is good for our world, we need an abundance of caring As all of us observe your fine works, our awareness builds to what is true Perhaps the greatest flower in all those acres, on this grand earth, is you. 1996
