In the last post, I had shared the beauty of the Gulmohr tree.

I am fortunate to have a Gulmohr tree right in front of our home. Every day,  I spend some time admiring its beauty. During the months of April, May and June, the tree is in full bloom and it is a delightful sight. The petals fall down in gentle showers and these fallen petals make a red carpet on our porch. We jokingly tell our guests that we’ve rolled out the red carpet especially for them!

Here, in this post, with a heart filled with gratitude, I describe the glory of the Gulmohr in a poem. Hope you enjoy reading it!

Ode to the Gulmohr Tree

Dear Gulmohr tree, every morning, 
I look at you as you stand tall. 
You appear so majestic 
as you watch over us all. 



Your branches are laden 
with leaves a deep green.
When the crimson flowers appear, 
it makes for a fantastic scene.

Every year, 
I watch Mother Nature weave her magic. 
As your branches burst forth into bloom, 
I feel so ecstatic! 


Your green lace like leaves 
and scarlet blooms reach for the sky. 
This is a beautiful sight to behold 
and makes my heart sigh. 


Every bough, every branch, 
is laden with flowers. 
When the wind blows, 
they fall down in gentle showers.


 On our porch, 
a red carpet you spread. 
I tell you, 
this is a delight for all of us to tread! 

Thank you Gulmohr tree, 
for all that you do. 
I want you to know 
that I love you.
