Ahhhhh, this is lovely :) I need to close my eyes and dream of being there instead of here where it's snowing and freezing cold. Brrrrr. Today will be another jammy day for me curled up in bed with a good book.

I love the moving picture you have. Oh yes, Brooke loves her dandelions. I can hear that little birdie tweeting.

This is such a glorious poem, so loving and appreciative of God's gifts to all of us. The photo also contributes affinity to your sweet poem.
I find it in sympathy with my poem "VALENTINE'S DAY" now entered in the VALENTINE POETRY contest ending soon. Long time FS members say its TRIPLICATE ACROSTIC has never ever been seen on FS. Pls take a Review-peek. I will become your Fan. Blessings. john

Hi poet,

I think most of us can relate to your poem.

God is everywhere. Spring is around the corner. I know it is many persons favorite season but I can't say I have a favorite. Each has its beauty.

My second review. Hope it was okay.

This is so beautiful. 'My mind rendered silent by God's creations,' and the last stanza says it all.

The entire poem is lovely, and so touching. You should have entered this in a contest. A sure winner.

So lovely, Linda. You've painted a precious picture of God and this world which He has allowed us to enjoy ... and remember. I am sure you've sat ar this window or one similar ... probably many times with the praise you've just said; and you remember; He gives us moments to remember and to pass on to others.
Thanks for this moment :-)

    Sometimes, less is better. What ever you did, I did not see it before your modifications. However, your pruning has very good results. That is actually Biblical - the concept of pruning until the Lord is able to use you for His glory. You jave a fine partner!

A very well-written fun and uplifting poem. The first signs of flowers remind us winter is nearly over and Spring is knocking at the door to invite us in to the refreshing air and warm sunshine.

I wonder if Brooke will ever write her poetry again, she really is missed on here. This is a lovely poem, dear Linda, it made me smile to know you are. We do take God's gifts for granted and don't really stand and take in the beauty he has bestowed on us to share. Such a softly beautiful poem, my dear friend, with the perfect picture to admire. Big hugs, my lovely friend, love you lots. :) Sandra xx

    I don't see any reason to change your poem, Linda, it is just lovely. :))

    They are putting Ian's food and leg in a cast which will have to be cut off and changed every week. (the cast, not the foot and leg! :)) Ian told me that, lol) I love that man to bits, he is so brave and takes everything without fussing. I'll tell him you still ask after him, thank you, my dearest friend. Love you lots too! xxxxx

    that sounds painful...why are they putting food in his cast???...is this like a time capsual...LOL...LOL...love xxoo

Some days, or moments in them, just seem perfect and your free verse poem has captured the feeling of joy and thankfulness of being alive at that moment.

Yes, dandelions will always remind us of Brooke. I used to tease her and even wrote a poem about slaying them with my ride-on mower...
