women & their blessings | sonnet

Of all the roses in the great wide worlds

The loveliest take time to rise and bloom

For they grow in grace and beauty for girls

Yet sadly the weakest will die in June

You may wonder what flowers grow for boys

To surmise one would choose the Middlemist

As this Chinese flower is rare as joys

As rare as men who live truly amidst

While the Jade vine thrives in southern rain

And daffodils pester a messy lawn

All the world’s flora dreams of love and pain

Dreading each dusk and yearning for the dawn

In biased eyes the dawn is women who

Bury old sins and watch blessings sprout through
