Flower Power

A flower is the opposite of power,
it has no strength except its passing beauty,
it cannot cause a lady bug to cower,
a daffodil but droops to do its duty.

A flower just reflects the will of heaven,
without our eyes it still obeys its nature,
without our sins, no need to be forgiven,
a rose is still a rose, no nomenclature.

Yet flowers have great power to attract,
they simply show themselves with no facade,
so beautiful, they never are attacked,
a lily needs no other knight but God.

But lilac, with your beauty from above,
you lack my beauty to forever love.
