From the Buds of Achievement

From the buds of Achievement a bloom promises to shower
With the colors of heaven... with beauty soon to flower

The first petal to unfold
Is a beautiful gold
Made of pure virtue
The highest of value

Next to this came
Purple in flame
Made of integrity
And determined dignity

This flower will never wilt
With the yellow next to be spilt
Rising tall unto the sun
Through good works now begun

Then for the choices made
A fragrant orange was laid
For being responsible
Free as one accountable

And growing from the stem
Green grew as a gem
Proving intelligent
As for knowledge it unbent

Then forming unique birth
And individual worth
A red petal came alive
It's mission one to strive

Next to this petal rose too
A reminder made in blue
Helping red to see
Divine nature within me

Then last and in the center
A pure white petal did enter
Shining with faith and love
Dedicated to the Savior above
