Gathering
















Delicate flowers grow,
weeds strew among the grass.
I want to pick just a few..
Looking deeply at each fine bloom,
perched upon slim stalks anew.
I see a twinkle, a light, bright as the sun.
It is you I see, little one.
Purple and white floods the eyes.
Petals selected and delicately pulled,
only the finest will do.
Into a tiny bouquet they twist,
with a poetic notion, I hand you this.
Out of love, out of respect.
I'm forever tangled within your tiny web.

  9. Very precious, so gentle and tranquil. Children bring out the best of us, entangling us in lives that transcend so much, bringing us to a vital part of our selves. Your awareness of this as your child experiences the colors and flowers of Spring is wonderful.
