Once in a lifetime it appears,
Its lovely bouquet offering,
To blesséd souls while mirroring
God's love that His creation, steers.
Once in a lifetime, come what may,
Of the worthy it reaches shores
And their lives it blesses in scores,
Like flowers in the month of May.
Once in a lifetime then I'll sing
Steadily to my shiny star
Who deep in me and yet afar
Within my soul her solace brings
For love's given from God above
And brands all hearts where it harbors.
It never sways in its ardor
Although to some, it's unheard-of
