In the spring,
Nourished by the Gardner's love
I sprang into being.
I soaked up the sun
growing strong and vivid
within the shell of my outer petals.
In the summer,
I burst into bloom
stunning the world
with my beauty
bringing joy to all who saw me.
In the Autumn,
my beauty diminished
my vivid colors paled
yet,
my fragrance
lingered.
Now, winter assails me.
My beauty is withered
my fragrance a mere memory,
Still,
I leave the gift of future generation
with my passing.

Bountiful contents and a beautiful wise voice in "The Legacy"... A poem that ~pays its dues in full~ to the historic treasure of Poetry.
