Notes About The Poem

Lilly

Sunlight's touch only by its flaming torchlight through majesty
Cornflower blue sky, drawn steadfastly upon my face, amid scarlet marigolds, 
Orange and pink dahlias, snapdragons, and pungent garden green.
Our bright colors and strong fragrances attracting captivating, 
Winged pollinators for our tasteful nectar.

She walks through the garden and lingers.
Well-seen she's lost to my large orange and brown freckles beauty.
She bends and removes me from my place.
Brings me up to her nose, breathe in my sweet scent.
All the others in jealousy, for I'll be a part of a bouquet for the indoors.

What more could we ask for. Nothing quite like the scent of heaven on earth for those who are in tune with nature. PS Our eldest daughter is expecting identical twin boys in August.

Awe, congratulations. Babies are so beautiful and comforting to the soul, especially when they are your grandchildren. I spoil my grandchildren.
