White Flower

Whoosh -

A fairy rushed by me today.

At sixty miles per hour.

In her tiny hand, she held real tight

A beautiful white flower.

The glint in her eye, as she danced on by

No one could mistake her joy.

For today was the day she earned her wings

In her hand

A white graduation flower.

Whoosh -

There she goes again!

Faster and faster, she turns and spins

Up and down and all around

Hanging on to that lovely white flower.

What a wonderful site,

The splash of white.

Fluttering about the ground.

She's earned her wings, jigs, and sings.

In her hand, a perfect white flower.
