I wove a garland of flowers A garland full of love Beautiful stars fallen on the green carpet I collected and wove The dew drunk red rose amongst The daisies so white The heady jasmine round them I wove into a ring The tiny blue bells danced around The lily’s unstained beauty Yellow wild flowers peeped from under The vibrant petals of marigold Then into this ring I wove My love and desires And held it against my heart For him when he’d come near By-Tahera Mannan Contest- Flowers Sponsored by- Francine Roberts
