The purple lotus in the pond

The purple lotus in the pond
A beauty so serene and fond
Its petals, soft and velvety
A sight that’s truly heavenly

It rises up from muddy ground
A symbol of serenity found
Its color, deep and rich in hue
A sight that’s always fresh and new

It stands tall and proud and still
A symbol of the peace it will instill
Its beauty, a sight to behold
A treasure to have and to hold

It’s a flower of divine grace
A symbol of a higher place
Its beauty, a reminder of the good
A sight that’s forever understood

So let us all take a moment to see
The purple lotus, a beauty to be
And let its peace forever stay
In our hearts, as we go our way
