Cottonwood

Cottonwood now sports purple blossom
Open faces sun seeds entomb
Total beauty in nature's landscape
Thanksgiving to God for escape
Opened heart to receive beauty
Now refreshed return to duty
Wonder how many passed that tree
Obliterated to even see
Open my eyes_heart Lord each day
Do let opportunities pass my way

(Obliterated here used to means
wiped out ...)

I don't know what the plant looks like, Sara, but it does sound beautiful. No, we were very fortunate that there wasn't much damage at all in yesterday's hail storm.

Another lovely one Sara. My brother is terminal, we have been told that. That is what makes it so hard to see him go through it. He is in hospice care but still alone a lot. I will go back down in July. Love, Joyce
