It doesn't get much better-
Flowers on a warm spring evening,
when the sun shines down on your face,
and makes you want to live for ever.
Against the diamond blue sky,
When purple lilacs bloom like balloons hanging from a bush,
pick one-just one- hanging above your head.
Then make a wish.
There is so much to ask for-
a hundred little blossoms,
one small gem,
or a friend to chat with.
Yet all you’ll wish for
is another spring day,
Yet all you’ll wish for
is another spring day,
just like this one
and one more evening full of flowers.
and one more evening full of flowers.
Kayden, you have inspired me to pick the purple lilacs from our front yard. Smelling them now, making a wish, and feeling grateful. I'll put these lilacs in honey to infuse for 6 weeks...and in 6 weeks, we'll have lilac honey. Perhaps we will gather together for tea, lilac honey and poetry! Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts and feelings.

ReplyDeleteKayden, I'm so pleased to know you have thoughts of this nature. What a beautiful poem. I'm so proud of you. You bring back memories of when I was your age, a young girl questioning everything...my face in clover looking for that 4 leaf, thinking this is forever. Thank you.
