Long Ago Spring Flowers

Flowering bluebonnets will soon carpet fields;
Baby colts playing, kicking up their heels.
Indian paintbrushes will streak through the blue,
And gnarled oak trees budding will show off their hue.

Once I rode a horse through the bluebonnet's terrain;
Low hanging thunderclouds portending of rain;
Showers refreshing drenching my face,
My love by my side 

Another time and another place.

I always have my beloved at my side and it's a great sentiment, but I'd've built on the baby colts animals-and-flowers imagery and ended with "My dog by my side." But then I'm bonkers for my dogs.
