Apple Blossom Heaven

APPLE    BLOSSOM   HEAVEN


Heaven must be  this  sweet  -
The  Schillings along the shore,
Old Pilikov across the street,
Apple trees  just outside door.  

In the softness of  lush pink shade
And  their heavy  laden  giant  blooms  
My  children  grew and played
And inhaled  their pure  perfumes.

To start each day in blossom,
In display perfect and fulsome,
Spread low over my transom  -
Is surely  life in heaven’s bosom.

Syd, you paint a lovely image of the children growing up in Russia surrounded by kind neighbors and a beautiful landscape. Excellent writing, my friend. Love, Carolyn
