Flowers for the New Year

Flowers for the New Year;
flowers for the Spring;
for bright hope; for good cheer
and new life awakening.

Ring in the year with bluebells
and sing the Sun King’s praises
with a choir of chrysanthemums
and daffodils and daisies.

Baby pink carnations
for Earth’s reincarnation;
violets for its opening eyes;
red tulips for its grin.

Multi-coloured roses
for its bright metamorphosis
when,spreading wings,the spring will rise
like a butterfly fluttering.
