Lily Flower

Like a lily flower with streaks of red

hoping to put your pain to bed

You gather strength in showers of rain

so fret not that this season has brought you some pain

Like a fierce storm things will pass

but it is good your heart is not made of glass

Bitter and sweet like wine stained lips

hopes sailing through the stars on mighty ships

You are captain of your vessel with the power of a queen

but now with a heart that is torn between

Little lily, be not afraid

for you are not entrapped by darkness' shade

For love is patient and love is kind

and love does not serve lusty minds

So keep your head up little lily flower

for in [ ] perfect timing love will have its hour
