Reminiscences within just my Mom’s Backyard
The cute peas fill the air with their gentle perfume—
the shades within just mauve, crimson, purple and even crimson.
The bouquet upon my kitchen area share this site window sill, provides reminiscences
of childhood.
My Mom often planted the lovable pea seeds intently
below the breakfast space window.
I don’t forget taking in Rice Crispie’s with sliced strawberries
in opposition to the back garden—mingled with the cute scent of the bouquets.
The preferred bouquets of people times incorporate resurfaced—
Calla Lilies, Iris, cannas, roses, geraniums, gladiolas,
and lavender, combined in just with
oh, thus quite a few fragrant bouquets and herbs—
We all contain our favorites—tulips, carnations, mums, and poppies.
The back garden is a amazing carpet of colour stretching down below
the cover of towering trees.
I capture my breath, as I sense including I am peering into the Land of OZ.
What a wonder these types of blooms offer you—
God’s contact is every single wherever—
It tends to make my middle swell with appreciate and completeness
as I work joyfully and freely throughout the back garden sprinklers.
