Analysis of The Cherry Blossom Tree
Soft pink petals dancing in the sun,
A new beginning, spring has begun,
Your radiant beauty brings me joy and peace,
God's richest blessings that never cease.
Everyone loves you cherry blossom tree,
You are a beautiful sight for all to see,
Your sweet fragrance fills the air,
And all I can do is stop and stare.
A few short weeks and your bloom has gone,
But my memory of you still lingers on,
Through the seasons until next year's May,
Where you will bloom another day.
