on the hill they do grow
starting their journey as tight little buds damp with morning dew
waiting to say hello to the sun’s warmth
that will unfurl their hidden glory for all to see
some journey from out to in and stand in bright array
until one by one their petals fall as a temporary good bye
These beauties remind me of my friend Linda who loved peonies and whose petals fell all too soon.
I love your comments, so jump right in and share your thoughts.
