A Plant

Leaf and root,
flower and fruit,
colour and shape,
nut and grape,
stem and bloom,
growth and boom,
gift and grant
you find in a plant.

A Mother‘s Day Gift
If there wasn‘t…

If there wasn‘t the green of the meadows
and there wasn‘t the growth of the trees,
if there wasn‘t the red of the tulips
and there wasn‘ the humming of bees,
if there wasn‘t the thrill of the lilies
and there wasn‘t the veil of the rue,
if there wasn‘t the love of the iris
and there wasn‘t the bluebells‘ hue,
if there wasn‘t the eye of the violet
and there wasn‘t the scent of the thyme,
if there wasn‘t the charm of the roses
there would be to BEAUTY no rhyme.
