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
