In a far off land-

Beauty grows on a hillside, in a forest!

A sea of azure blue-

Delights all who wonder by…

And close at hand,

A million miles from home,

A puppy grows, beside a fence!

In the dark of night,

A miracle burst forth.

From buds to bloom, to begin anew,

The cycle of life!!

Leaves, soft, fuzzy, as green as a woodland glade,

Climb upon a stem of stem of sturdy strength,

To a pinacle-

Of petals, crinkly, delicate,

As blue as the morning sky,

Surrounding a heart of SUNRISE YELLOW!!!

A symbol of possibilities of renewal, of hopes and dreams,

Fulfilled…

Remember always the blue puppy!! …
