EXQUISITELY SOFT BEAUTY!
I wish I were a poet so I could write about this beautiful flower, but I found one for you. Love, Judy

Dahlias' Delight

Dahlia petals spring forth with light
To guide us through the darkest night.
A proof of God inside us all,
They stand, so perfect, true and tall.
My head I bow in thanks devout
How could I ever've raised a doubt,
When sun and rain are all they need,
if love is shared, they will succeed.

( Original poem by William Schmidt )
