Le Fleur de Lys

(The White Lily)

The color stood out in the florist,

The purest of whites,
The stem, green it is,
Oh, how lovely its sight.

Yet, it signified even more,
meanings helds it never apart,
of a love on the furtherest shore,
Of a love, in the heart.

And so, this white creation,
reminded me evermore,
of my own birth and creation,
of my mother evermore,

I bought the white lily,
splendid in the florist,
evermore splendid and lively,
beautiful, lovely, it is.

And so the lily shall be,
white and pure in my heart,
as how is my mom to me,
deep in my heart.
