Flower of Winter, Flower of Spring

A Flower blooms
In winter’s chill
Though Darkness looms
It remains still.

Throughout the storms
Of snow and hail
The Flower forms
Its figure frail

Then springtime dawns
And on the ground
Flower is not gone
Though others abound

A young man sees
The flowers sway
With gentle breeze
He walks their way

And for his maiden
picks one out
Nature’s game played
Without a doubt

A Flower picked
For lovers’ will
A Flower born
In winter’s chill

C.P. Lewis

Delightful Orchids

The delicate beautiful blossoms
Taken from Mother Nature’s folds
So delightful and soft are the colors
And so rare as we watch them unfold

They are intricate and truly charming
Their design is extremely unique
They have distinctive little faces too
Once they have reached their peak

The Orchids are the top of the line
When it comes to all the flowers
But they need extra tending to be
As fresh as the noon-day showers

It is so amazing to see a flower
As complex as these Orchids are
They brighten up a green house
And are the classiest flower by far

So if you get the chance, folks
To observe this flower some time
Look at the huge assortment of
The loveliest flower you can find!
