Easter Hunt
All signs of spring have arrived among the fields of yellow daisies and tall grass
Basking in glory the wading birds with its white silken body and long legs
Cattails burst tall with delight from the pond
Dragonflies fly amongst the cattails
Enjoying their flight around the pond, while Jesus bugs dart across the surface
Frogs patiently waiting on their lily pads
Gingerly, my little girl walks among the green grass and clover looking for
Hidden Easter eggs amongst the yellow daisies, daffodils, lavender and
Irises, around latticework bower intertwined with climbing fragrant flowering
Jasmine in yellow, white and roses in bloom with a kiss of velvet to its petals
Keeping track of all the Easter eggs she's found; she runs with her basket in hand
Laughing every time, she finds one. It brings back
Memories of when I was her age
New memories are made with my little girl
Orange, yellow, red, polka dots and stripe designs
Pinks, and blues Easter eggs all scattered to be found
Quickly my yorkie “Peanut”
Runs around chasing my Xyla to get ahead of her,
Smelling the enticing Easter eggs
They are having so much fun together
Until they have found all the eggs, I
View my little girl in her beautiful lace
White dress
Xyla and Peanut our
Yorkie lying beside her
Zonked out from the day’s excitement
