Sprays of Lilacs
My garden is dressed in lavender lace.
Fragrant flowers blooming in sweet array.
Sprays of lilacs bring a smile to my face.
Delicate charmers, swaying with such grace,
lure hummingbirds and bees with their display.
My garden is dressed in lavender lace.
Butterfly wings enfold them in embrace.
A few branches make a lovely bouquet.
Sprays of lilacs bring a smile to my face.
Planted near my porch is the perfect place,
their scent will linger for many a day.
My garden is dressed in lavender lace.
Arranged with ivy in cut crystal vase,
they brighten the room, painted soft dove grey.
Sprays of lilacs bring a smile to my face.
When fresh blooms are needed I will replace
them with new spikes. The dried become sachet.
My garden is dressed in lavender lace.
Sprays of lilacs bring a smile to my face.
