Does anyone know who wrote this poem?

Question

When to the flowers so beautiful,

The Father gave a name,

A little blue eyed one returned

With modest shame and said,

I have alas forgot"

Answer 7

Emily Bruce Roelofson

I'll make up an off the cuff  response:

looking, searching for answers, the folk log on to thee,

but do they find the 'answers' buried deep in me, or do they

simply unearth they truth they had known all along,

seeking confirmation from others who share their searching song,

for it is within our hearts and souls the need to search and seek out knowledge, as eve did with the tree..... questions are our greatest gifts and 'answers' are the key.
