FIRST PLACE

Image #2 in contest

Ever since I was just a little girl, I loved to leap and dance, swirl, whirl and twirl. Also, each day I liked to pick flowers, oh, I could do this for hours, hours. Sometimes, I would do both things, twirl and pick, when doing this I had to be quite quick. The blooms for mom- made up a collection, jars on window sills placed with affection. On days that it rained I would paint things, that mom displayed and that gave my heart wings. Do you do little things for mom each day ? like pick or paint her a great big bouquet !

Bonjour Constance, Reading your touching poem has me wanting to call Mom, right now, maybe even send flowers. By the way, her Maiden name is Lafrance. Merci, Gilles

Eileen, thank you so much for the compliment, so true, I still whirl twirl and swirl in dance class. I could not use the image provided by the sponsor of a girl with flowers as I kept getting a System 500 error. So, I am using this one instead, hope she accepts it, Constance
