An Iris Blessing

Dear Friends on the List,
	We have been looking through some bulletins and letters from 1996 that a
very generous person shared and we found the most beautiful  poem by
Georgia Gudykunst.  It would be fun to share it with our society in a
monthly letter or at a potluck.  I would like to get Georgia's permission
to change the name to "An Iris Blessing"  since she called it "An Iris
Blessing for 1996".  We feel it is timeless.  Does anyone have Georgia's
snail mail address?  Here is her poem for all to enjoy.

		An Iris Blessing for 1996
May your blooms be floriferous and in good form,
Distinctive, with good substance, flare, and airborne,
With standards and falls that endure, never torn.
May you display many buds and blooms sublime,
In graceful proportion on strong stalks each day,
Gently floating above the fans and the fray.
May you too reach toward the moon and stars,
Bloom after bloom, many seasons in the sun,
Enjoying your life, health, and each loved one,
Until your 'living days are artfully done.

            By Georgia Gudykunst
