Do Plants Cry

Sadder than the tears it gives,
Baby's tears in water lives.
The Devil's Tears of course are red,
It's beauty same as blood that's shed.

One that reaches ten feet high
Job's tears, oh such beauty ; Sigh!
Their lovely beads make rosaries,
They shine so bright in soft blown breeze.

Our Lady's tears, of strawberry,
An Orchid of such wondrous beauty.
Achimenes, of Mothers Tears,
She had many children in her years.

And Angels Tears, Oh my, Oh my,
Who ever saw an angel cry.
Then, the Narcissus, April's tears,
Has been around for many years.

Now the Berberis bright Red Tear's,
Such bright red leaves it wears.
This beauty is in my possession.
Leaving all with a lasting impression.

The Purple Baby's tears,
Bright color, but sad look it wears.
And holding court over all,
The Queens Tears, she stands so tall.

Now Golden Tears is older yet,
Reached its golden years with no regret.
And now I show you Widow's Tears,
She's shed her tears for many years.

Then don't forget our lovely trees,
The weeping willow, we all agree.
That as, our God above they please,
They stoop to pray on bended knees

Floria
