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
