Water Lily Upon a pond, you may have seen My rounded leaves of shiny green And if you've noticed, when I spread My fragrant flowers on the bed Of quiet water holding me, I'm sure that you will soon agree, I am a lovely sight to see. Quite often white, but sometimes pink, With yellow stamens and I think This is a happy place to dwell, Upon the water's gentle swell. I have great value in the chain Of nature's food.My seeds contain Much starch and protein, just like grain. I feed a horde of hungry souls While passing through my many roles, Of leaf and flower, root and seed And find the purpose that I need.

A gentle and lovely poem and i could feel the peace of sitting by the pond and watching their beauty! Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Marge: Thanks and I'm sorry you didn't find what you expected. I havern't even had a picture of that little doll and I will wait until I see her before I write anything. Her mom had a rough time and spent a week in the hospital, so hasn't had a chance to take pictures yet. Betty Lou Hebert |
