Random Doggerel, 7

First Lily
July 12, 2020

A lily—first one—blossomed here—
A brilliant orange—it has no peer.
I love to see them—every year.

They let us know that’s summer’s come,
That birds can chirp, and bees can hum,
And gone (for now) is winter’s glum.

Each blossom lives a single day—
Such beauty cannot really stay—
Reminding us of life’s sad way.
