Empty pots
Sit and patiently wait
For Spring’s warmth
To bring life
And fill their barren containers
With fragrant color

Down memory lane
Bouquets of forget-me-knots
Sentimentally shared

High temps
Flowers in the sun
Concerned for their welfare
Awoke to find God watered them
Over night

Summertime weather ends
Flowers still blooming on the deck
Never give up on life

Such a perfect day
Enjoying it on my deck
Then it starts to rain
The perfect day ends with me
Not having to water deck flowers

This morning I am wondering
What this June day will bring
As dark clouds fill the sky
And the sun is nowhere nigh
My flowers heads hang low
As a chilly wind does blow
Then suddenly the clouds fade away
Giving me a beautiful sunny day!
June, each day you’re a surprise
And a morning wonder to my eyes

Delightful day with friends
Sunshine,flowers,laughter,lunch
New memories made
Phlox in bloom
A sight to behold
Small star shaped flowers
The ground do enfold
A blanket of pink
Surrounded by some rocks
A garden in May
Should always include Phlox

Lovely soft pink Lupines
Erect spikes reaching for the sky
Whorled garden sentries

The last Monday in May
We pause to remember
All those who fought and fell
For freedom’s cause.
Let us never forget the price
that is paid for freedom.

The Red Poppy is a reminder of those who fought and fell in World War 1.
