A Happy Birthday


Sadonyx is Royal stone
A gem of felicity
The pansy stands for thoughtfulness
A sweet simplicity.

From darkness into light.

Language of Flowers


Forget-me-not's
affection tried
and true--
May such be
yours, and ever
with you stay!
Myrrh is for
"gladness"
hawthorn white
for "hope"--
Pray both their
blossoms scatter
in your way!
