White Mum

I bought a white mum plant last spring It wilted quickly, but the plant stayed alive I put it in the ground hoping to bring, Life back again, so it would survive Now it is November, the air is cold But it is blooming white flowers brightening each day It is strong, alive, persistent and bold This white mum highlights my path on my way Heidi Sands 11/27/20

Heidi, What a delicate write you've made. Will the blooms return in Spring, in promise of a gentle rain? I hope so. -Richard

Your "white mum" is an excellent metaphor for the human spirit. It may seem wilted at times, but Mother Earth provides the nourishment to bring back the flowers. This is an extraordinary poem, Heidi, and it's a fave for me. Hugs, carolyn
