Personification of a Plant

I start blooming in spring with colorful bushes to see Purple and white flowers hang delicately from me I spread sweet fragrance blowing far with every breeze Granting you spring wishes of new beginnings that appease I am so refreshing, after the long cold winter snow Sit near me to see with my offering of what I have to show I am the lilacs returning with joy every year Blooming in yards, all over the vast land, I will appear In your mind, I will stay in memory not to erase My known sweet scent will always, leave a nice lingering trace Heidi Sands 9/20/16 *Placed 9th in Personification of a Plant Contest
