Plumeria -- A floral princess among the queens

 

O plumeria, with your hues of red, yellow and white

To all who wear you as a lei, you bring aloha and delight.

You are a floral princess among the many queens.

You are a gift from God -- and a product of His dreams.

 

Plumeria blossoms, created just for you

Fashioned  by the Master what humans can not do.

He must have smiled and said a prayer

As He blessed you-- and set you there and there.

Refrain:

Created by His hands and with His utmost love

O plumeria, you are a shining star -- from the garden high above.
