tender shoot,
with delicately laced bud
and lock tight petals


soak up the sun
and drink in the rain
open your glorious petals

the hummingbird is thirsty
and the bumble bee makes busy
about the bushes


the garden is fragrant
and full of delightful sights
soft pastels, vivid brights


your bloom will hush
the boasting beauty
of fading flowers
