Legacy of Planting Peonies in Autumn

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...

Grandmothers know how to nurture and to love their flowers. Grandmothers want a garden of peace and harmony. Grandmothers never stop planting their seeds of hope. Grandmothers should rule the world. It would be a much nicer place. Gorgeous poetry dear Pat.

dearest Chris… now that my only Grandson is 19… I realize through his eyes.. he has become Wise. He helped me with my Rubix Shawl and told me it goes over your Head and simply hangs on your neck. Yes .. Grandmothers are like Peonies … soft and scented to a fault. gently, Pat

This is soft and moving. It's a beautiful poem. I like peonies but I don't like the scent of their flowers. My mother had a pink one she grew in her garden. There is a place I visit where cape jasmine and gardenias grow together. Now, that's a heady, sweet mixture akin to being hypnotized like Alice in Wonderland was by the poppies but it's overpowering. It can only be appreciated at a distance when carried by the wind.

Hope is woven among earth’s precious flora….birth is forever planted among these wondrous living creatures…….it is in grandmother’s garden that these phenomena are created…. And nourished… planted in the earth for survival and memories…..your exquisite words are overwhelming to me…. And so positive and alluring……lovely Pat

Dear Pat,
When we plant the seeds of hope and love, it may take them awhile to sprout. We must wait for the beautiful things in the Grandmother's Garden.

"Hope is born and the sound of a Band of Angels
is heard among the Peonies in Grandmothers'
Spring Gardens"

With these golden words of Faith, you brought me such joy and hope today. As if life is magical and worth believing in. Kudos to your beautiful poetic voice!

[Patricia Wedel]

LDear DIVYA. The promises made become Peonies in the Spring. Your words of encouragement are nestled with sleeping bulbs that will burst when the sound of Angels and Harps play Hallelujah. Amen.. Pat
