EXCERPTS
The Enduring Cactus Flower
There once was a flower, so tough,
Endurance, its spirit enough.
Like a cactus in bloom,
It defied arid gloom,
With resilience, it proved to be gruff.
In deserts, where hardships prevail,
The cactus flower would never fail.
Through scorching sun's glare,
And drought-ridden air,
Endurance, its story would unveil.
With spines as its armour, it stood,
Braving all odds, as it should.
Through parched desert sands,
It defied harsh demands,
Endurance, a symbol of fortitude.
So let the cactus flower inspire,
With its resilience that won't tire.
In life's arduous race,
We'll find strength in its grace,
Enduring, our spirits soar higher and higher.
An Acrostic for the Noble Magnolia
Majestic blooms adorned with grace,
A symbol of nobility, they face,
Gleaming petals, a regal attire,
Nurtured by nature's loving fire,
Outshining all, in beauty they aspire,
Luminous presence, hearts inspire,
In gardens, they reign, never to tire,
A testament to nobility's desire.
