forget-me-nots

Such sweet little wildflowers Shades varied in tones of blue Growing along stream's bower Softly kissed by morning dew. Near such stream, a besotted knight Walked with his lovely fair maiden In suit of armor, he met his plight In his hand, forget-me-nots laden. Legend has it he fell in the river Still holding on to his fragile gift Tossed, the flowers he was to give her A clenched hand was all he could lift. As a symbol of faithful love so true Forget-me-nots grow in early Spring I will offer some I'll pick for you When on my knee, I offer you a ring.

Thank you, Sandra. I was caught up in the image of a Knight in full suit of armor, holding a handful of fragile flowers. What a sad ending that he could only toss them to his maiden as he drowned.

I do agree with you, Tim. A field of wildflowers is more beautiful than anything planted by the hands of man. Thanks for reading.
