&lt;p&gt;My Dad passed on thirteen years ago this week.  He loved all the flowers in the garden but was particularly devoted to the peonies.  On this anniversary of the heart, I&amp;rsquo;m sharing this poem he wrote in 1998 which was two years before his death.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;em&gt;To A Pink Peony&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unrivalled, the pink peony outshone&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;the other colorful flowers in the garden.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
