Springtime Gloom - Andaree

 
"Love never dies it goes on and on and on."

                                                Quote by _Constance


I think of my mother most in the springtime,
she taught me to grow flowers sublime;
I feel happy when they bloom,
planting at her tomb.
And I sigh,
gloom;
and I cry,
oh, life can be doom !
But wait: Oh, the sweet perfume,
so sweet the birdies that sing and chime;
I think of my mother most in the springtime.

Jeanette Swan Date: 5/2/2024 4:49:00 AM Yes, beauty can ache when grieving. My Mum's flowers are daffodils - so they too are both sweet and aching. I will echo your other commenters - I like the turn in the poem that says, 'but wait', and the determination to cherish the flowers and the memory.
