In the spring,
Nourished by the Gardner's love
I sprang into being.
I soaked up the sun
growing strong and vivid
within the shell of my outer petals.


In the summer,
I burst into bloom
stunning the world
with my beauty
bringing joy to all who saw me.


In the Autumn,
my beauty diminished
my vivid colors paled
yet,
my fragrance
lingered.


Now, winter assails me.
My beauty is withered
my fragrance a mere memory,
Still,
I leave the gift of future generation
with my passing.

This is very nice Bobbi. I love the smell and sight of flowers in the spring and summer. In the winter, we have the Mitchell Park Horticulture Conservatory (the Domes). They are 3 huge glass covered domes, that have domestic and exotic plants and flowers. I really enjoyed reading this.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Bountiful contents and a beautiful wise voice in "The Legacy"... A poem that ~pays its dues in full~ to the historic treasure of Poetry.

In admiration,
