The regal tulips proud display
will all too quickly pass away.
Their seed is set their task is done
and they depart their time has gone.
Though we enjoy their beauty show.
Their pastel colour softly glow
in multicoloured tints and hues.
A favourite colour hard to choose.
So hard in fact I do not try,
each one is pleasing to my eye
Although it’s sad to see them die
their place will soon be taken by.
Another floral beauty show
which reigns until it’s time to go.
