Grandmothers and Peonies seem to belong where
Love is shared with Petals soft and fragrant...
Nostalgia at weddings where a Kiss seals the
promises made to Love and Obey with
breathless moments as we pray for Harmony...
Planted in Earth in fallen golden leaves that
become an Omen for Trust and tender
Bouquets in the Spring when Babies sleep
and are nourished by a Mother until the
Moment of Arrival and a Cry of Survival...
Hope is born and the sound of a Band of Angels
is heard among the Peonies in Grandmothers'
Spring Gardens... in hues of yellow, red, coral,
pink, purple and white as they turn to the Light...
