Where Have All the Flowers Gone

Where Have All The Flowers Gone

Yes Yes Yes, Spring is here
Lillies, Hummingbirds, Bees are near

Time to remember the old and the new
Days pass by too fast for me and you

The lillies my mother -in -law grew so pretty
Now grow in my yard, for eternity

My grand-daughters smell and pick the flowers
The flowers renew just like the rain showers

The hummingbirds love my "Four O Clocks"
Yearly they come and find their docks

Stories, Smells, and Memories are made
Just like the life lessons, they last for decades

The Flowers haven't gone too far
Their here today, tomorrow just like the stars**

This poem means alot to me,,alot of the flowers in my yard are passed down from generations of family and have memories with them, some bring memories to my husband about his mother, whom is no longer with us,,,to be passed on to my family also for when we too will not be on this earth, but a familiar smell brings us together again**
