Strength of the Lily of the valley

Dedicated to my mother

Burst into searing hue

Music of your soul appeal color

Wound upon wound you possess

Heartache tatters your fragile petals

Constant are your roots

Whose strong promises your ears conceived

You, Lily of the Valley, flower amidst the flash storm

beautiful tribute

[Larissa G.]

Nice.
I'm not sure it would stand on its own without the image or the focus, unfortunately. But it's a nice start to something.

[Tovli]

well done; a nice tribute that swirls more than it flows--as thought flying from the heart into a little wind storm. nice. tovli

Ah! This is a wonderful dedication here for your mom, Beautiful and from the heart.

This is wonderful, you display just how sensitive, beautiful and vulnerable your mom is yet strong at the same time. A wonderful dedication.
