Amaryllis

Lord, let me keep my rejoicing current.
As fresh as eggs, as new as the morning paper; 
as bright as my children’s faces 
or sunlight dancing at the door.
Marjorie Holmes

Like a miracle during the cold days of winter
A bright spring beauty makes her debut into the world;
Nothing sheepish about this girl. 
She has confidence galore.
She’s the star of the week with room to spare,
Not even one rival or runner-up in this pageant
Six petals—three ruffled and three trim
What a great gown and how well she wears it!
She’s the winner—hands down
But wait—who’s this behind her? a twin? triplets?
Identical to the last detail, oh my!
You never know what a day in November will bring!
