Oh! What beauties in color so fair

Together they make a lovely pair

Sprawled beside the water’s clear

Whispering in each other’s ears.

Letting their petals fall apart

As they hold each other dear to their heart.

Blossoms of spring, so may they be called

Shimmering in clear water, stalk, petal and all.

Resembling love of two hearts far apart

Carrying a love message to each other’s heart.

May these blossoms bloom and grow

As each other’s heart they come to know

As these waters reflect them face to face

Let them stand in sweet embrace

As time moves on these blossoms grow

As time moves on these hearts will know

As these blossoms in clear waters they see

So, in love’s own time they will be set free.
