For Mandi

Mandi

Through the dark soil of love
The flower grew
Through draught and flood
The lessons of life
Strengthened her soul

The flower grew strong
The beauty shining
The hopes and drive
A silver lining

To all around
Laughter and joy
Always inspiring
To her little boy

We began to learn
Her hopes and dreams
The desire to learn
From the stream
of knowledge

For reasons unknown
Leaving all in wonder
The flower so strong
taken by the Gardner

In the clouds above
Hand in hand and in love
The farmer and his wife
Holding their flower so tight
They turn with a smile
Letting us know all is right

We love you
