A very scented poem of reminiscence, Peter. May all of your days be a boquet of lilacs wrapped with that familial ribbon of love and guidance. Blessed Be.

An obedient child is the oil of joy to a parent. And to honor our parents is the first commandment of G-d that came with a PROMISE from the Creator to those children who do love and bring honor to their parents.

EXODUS 20:12
"Honour thy father and mother: THAT your days may be LONG upon the earth which the Lord God gives thee."

Good day my dear friend, good day.

Roy Orbison and Peter Paton, a hell of a team, and that's a fact. The more I read of your excellent poetry I am delving a little deeper inside this guy call Peter. I like what I am discovering. this poem. Tender and reminiscient of life gone by and your lovely tribute to Mum and Dad. Excellent and moving.

Sweet Peter Paton, today your pen is bittersweet....and painfully beautiful. Lilacs abound in my own backyard, fully a-bloom! The fragrance is potent;it has seemingly carried you, along with its scent of nostalgia, back to your childhood...........my heart to yours, in the loss of your precious folks.........i understand, i was an obedient child, as well. They obviously did a magnificent job raising you, Peter. Your rich flowing robes are multiple, and magnificent. love & prayers ~ rhonda

Beautiful verse and flowering tree. I've never seen a lilac tree before. It looks kind oflike a hydranga bush from down south here in the states....in any case your verse and memory is a dear sentiment of love.
