Upon taking a morning walk in May,
a bright splash of color enters my day.
It’s Marigolds growing in a patch,
their colors so vivid, nothing can match
the splendor the sunshine brings to each bloom.
I pause so my eyes can consume
the the sea of colors, orange, yellow, scarlet and gold!
What a morning treasure–a sight to behold!
