Efflorescence 

a poem for my daughter

A seed planted in Spring

Blooming bright

Under a winter's moon

The scent of a rose

The beauty of an orchid

The effect of a poppy

 A perennial blossom

The strength of an oak

The frangibility of a willow

Oh, sweet posey

How I love you

More, every day
