'Tis Love...

'Tis Love...

An array of flowers each its own blessed story
Blooms of color God's grace in loving glory
A Rose with petals, a velvet caress
A Sunflower holding light and happiness
An Iris with drama and mystery
A Daisy with joyful frivolity
'Tis earth and beauty that lovingly meet
Such delicate splendor and fragrance sweet
A flower within be it of perpetual grace
Within chambers of heart 'tis love to place.

Blessed Flower All

an array of flowers each its own blessed story
blooms of color God's grace in glory
I a Rose with petals a velvet caress
I a Sunflower holding light and happiness
I an Iris with drama and mystery
I a Daisy with joyful frivolity
'tis earth and heaven to lovingly meet
such delicate splendor and fragrance sweet
and I a flower of perpetual bloom
know I the glory of morning the delight of noon
and when the day a night to fall
I a blessed flower all.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
