Today I Planted Lavender

Today I planted lavender Not waiting for official news Spring has sprung inside my head, and so I plan to plant, refresh, renew Ignore the forecast on Global News Gather those buds, time will connive To wither them soon enough, ya think...alive! It is easy to start, get distracted, put off Second guess, other people know best But be my guest~ Breathe in the purity, Life anew, sunny skies, fresh dirt As I brush the residue off my skirt I meant it friends, warm weather is here to stay I've even put winters clothes away. No April showers dull my glee Spring is short~ that's old history, and yet As I caress each perfect leaf, eager to feel sunshine sweet I am convinced that I can squeeze The lemonade of springtime, get a jump On my wintry world~extend the time, so Hold this potted plant for me. Hold it like an offering.
