A Sweet and Gentle Flower
Can you imagine, in this day
A heart still true in every way
Kindness shared with no request
Asking nothing, giving her best
A word or thought where needed most
With every deed, the perfect host
Quietly stedfast yet unassuming
A gentle flower ever blooming
Show another half as true
As our lovely Shahrzad Maftooh
