Once a Year for One Day Only.

You were a gift from a friend

Two years ago now.

From inland where you grew.

Home with us to the seaside,

You are happy and

You tell us this is so.

When you flower,

It is for one day only.

We wait with greedy eyes .

To not see would seem so lonely

We must not miss your glorious prize.

Last evening we checked you and nothing.

No real sign at all.

This morning you are here to greet us

Bold and strong.

We are in awe.

Coffee and delightful discussion,

Regarding your wondrous splendour.

Bless you Mother Nature

In our hearts we hold so tender.

Kindness always

Nat ❤️
