They were the golden days in many ways, When I once gave Mom dandelion bouquets. She loved those bright vases of blooms, Cheering the corners of childhood rooms! The lavender dawns and crimson evenings, Plus the deep golden yellows in between, Gave rise to such kaleidoscopic memories, As a rare gemstone's glittering energies.

'Dandelion days' - I think that all of us had them at some point in our childhood. What painstaking care we took to fashion our 'bouqets' 'just so,' so Mom would like them. (Did you catch Mom trying not to laugh?). Wonderful write, Evelyn. Flowers and Fragrance, Gershon

Children tend to see dandelions as plentiful and lovely and practical for huge bouquets for Mom, but some others see them as just weeds. :0 Some adults love them, too, and my mom was one of them. Thank you for your nice remarks. Golden Memories, Evelyn

All good memories are indeed gemstones -- there when we need them, and unchangeable if mind's eye yet believes and continues to will its loving joy.

Dandelion Days is really nostalgic with a true touch of pleasant memories and longing to regain them. Really kaleidoscopic memories.
