TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Rebirth

I believe that summer's heat will fade,
that winter's snows will melt
and somewhere spring will come again
as sure as day will follow night


















the quince will bloom in glory then
upon her greenwood bough
and love will come
and take your hand


and swell like maiden's blush
to grow and stay a day
a year, a lifetime long
to smooth our rocky way

The portal to more flowers opens at the Logo.

    I needed that Arija - our snow is beginning to melt, although more is forecast (but to be followed by warmer weather). Yes, you are right - Spring will surely come.
