You were the iris in my garden
As luminous as the Sun could be
Rays of affection forevermore
Came from you so pleasantly

You were the iris in the sky
Morning emblazon; twilight plume
An ethereal radiance of love
This in my heart I hold with truth

Cascade of stars
Encircling divinity
An endlessly shimmering nebula
Shaping the essence of empathy

Yes you are the iris in my own
Reflecting wonder and glee
A blooming presence of hope
That has made life so beautiful to me
