Notes About The Poem

- Beautiful Wildflower Dresses -

Wildflowers color the day
                                      it is both true and certain
                                           Do not walk past ...
                             each flower a small seed from last year

                                        The milk glass is filled
                                      with flowers being picked
                                 - of the admiration of many eyes

                                            Accept life as it is
                                sprinkle some sugar on the lemons
                               The day is yours ... fill up the glasses
                              Forget the memories of the cold winter
                                      Flowers are the smile of life 
                            ... that catches the attention of the heart
