Lily, I missed you this morning

          but here's what I saw......

Dozens of big and little white daisies

Bazillions of buttercups beaming

Lotsy of flopsy-winged creamy butterflies clapping

Just two teensy yellow ones fleeing

One dark green oak tree (you know the one)

Fat purple clover blossoms

Lavender wild geraniums jiggling

Two kissy-red wild roses

Milkweed coming along

Calf high corn

A solo orange tiger lily singing (just for you) and four billion buds

Packets of weensy gold pocketbook posies

(Somebody filled up the big groundhog hole in the road!)

And from its skinny little stem, one bedazzled blue chicory blossom

hollering "Lily, Lily."

Come home soon!

Suzanne wrote this poem to her granddaughter, Lily, while Lily was visiting her father. They were in the habit of taking 'nature' walks. What a gift Suz was to all of us.
