Calla Lilly

The magnificent beauty Unique in its appearance Used since the days of Rome Marked in the passage of winter solstices Treasured and cherished Lover of water, pure and elegant Fragrant and bliss With a tear drop center Once gracing the royal gardens of Paris Cut and resting in glass, posing on tables Clinched together in the arms of a bride With lace and white ribbons a showstopper One can’t deny In a rainbow of colors made for the eye
