Lilies of the valley

A baby as tender

as the fragrance

of lilies of the valley

A toddler, good boy

as the perfume

of a jasmine flower

A child doing his best

as strong as the smell

of a stormy sea

Dreaming of a princess

as beautiful as the sight

of the skies at dawn

Studying, working hard

as hard as the touch

of a polished diamond

But then

becoming aware

that what counts is:

To be loving and tender

as the fragrance

of lilies of the valley
