A Flower’s Power

Flora and Fauna have synergy,

and Man oft shares the energy.

Plants use beauty for attraction,

and zest for life spurs the action.

 

Palo Verde was the choice

that my wife gave fondest voice.

We put the tree next to our home...

the tree, nor we, will never roam.

 

For every spring, it bares gold

and in each spring, a message told...

although it ages, as do we,

it can surmount fear and ennui.
