A Poem about a few favourite flowers.
Favourite Flowers
My lily of the valley, you are to me,
A vision of beauty for all to see.
In the meadow grass, is where you live.
A swathe of colour to the vale you give.
My love-in – the- mist you are so true,
Yet a clear vision I have of you.
Once carried by basket to the market town,
In the arms of a maiden with flowing gown.
Sweet daffodil, such a wondrous sight,
As yellow as saffron, in the morning light.
Brightening up the hills of Wales,
No doubt you could tell so many tales.
These favourite flowers bring so much joy,
To man and woman, girl and boy.
The grassland now on where you grow,
Were coal tips not so long ago.

I was born in Blaina, South Wales Hywel and you were from Carmarthen so I guess we were both South Wales..ish :-)

I live now in a village near Ammanford. Quite a long way from Blaina, but yes we are both from South-Wales :o))
