‘Tis Christened

Fair as the day and deeper in hue
A garden of petals and leaves
Compares to life

Take a flower from a christened day
Something so delicate
To be a memory

Question the dreams of reality's leaves
Hope that abides with hope
In return of beauty

Search farther for the root meaning
Where truth amounts below
To emit the face above

Move the wind of sanction as so
With the rustle of taking
Away the dust of pollen

Plant and grow more seeds
To enhance the colors
Of a life of valor
