A grandson's hands and heartGather meWildflowers From a country ditchLiving jewelsMore precious than Gold!

In JulyThis speckled BeautyWill be plucked from its stemAnd stuffed into a little girl's pocket To have its sweet/sour juice Sucked and sippedWhile savoring A good storybook.

Never been one for Lawn ornamentsNever been oneFor the frills,Yet in my summer Garden this yearMy heart to thisWhimsy thrills.
