Bugs may nibble,
and the rain drizzle,
but my color flares
for you.
Heat may wilt,
or age bring a droop,
but my petals widen
for you.
Your smile holds the sun;
your scent perfumes the air.
Always I dream
of you.

Thanks Brenda!
Maybe check on the web if you have any caves nearby. I had no idea we had this cave close-by until Alexandria brought the field-trip permission form home.
