When Fuchsia Zinnias Disappear
The zinnias purchased were of fuchsia
Then reproduction died
All the beauty's contribution
Left garden's side
Sadness filled lovers' hearts; tore them apart
Gold zinnias left, too
She decided green ones to start
Some orange, not blue
Patience grows a garden, prayer gives hope
Love covers many sins
Giving the faithful means to cope
Right always wins
