FLOWERS OF MAY

Like flowing lace the hedges glow
With May`s soft petals white;
Wild flowers bloom in glory cloaks
And summer garlands bright.

For years we placed these blossoms
`Neath a statue in our home,
And a tender prayer we whispered there
To Mary so well known.

No fingers green,no special care,
But nature`s own sweet way,
Made of the little flowers,
So perfect a display.

Their scent was next to heavenly,
Unique was their array;
They are something truly special,
Those sweet wild flowers of May.
