What of the lilies


 What is it with lilies?

Is it because they rhyme with memory

And thus they are in that family

Of things that move me?


But zinnia and gardenia are there as well

And as far as I can tell

They too bring me under the spell

In which I seem to have forever dwelt.


What of the magnolia blossoms? 

Yes, to their opening ceremonies I run

Giddy as a boy with presents opening

Bidding my friends to come! Come!


Who placed this love of lilies within?

I want to meet and thank him

They say He has this grand garden

And if you are patient, he will come

And let you walk with him

In the cool of the evening.
