Etteriya
Beautiful, delicate;
Young and simple;
White little flower,
Etteriya;
Soft like the wind,
The petals,
Collected to the,
Small green stem;
Colour the night,
Like small bulbs,
Representing the moon:
Simplicity and peace,
Decorate its underneath ground,
Like a white silk cloth,
By its petals.
Patience, good sir, for it is,
To be handle with,
Patient and care,
For it is,
A lifetime lesson,
Etteriya…
