In the morning sunlight
The little flowers
Are smiling so bright
With petals uniquely spun
And they drank golden rays
Through the sunny days
With a warm gentle glow
They bring life to dream and
And they cast all the shadows aside.

Purple Petals

Summer at last
It's almost already gone past
Flowers still in bloom
Here's a purple one just for you.

I'll place it here just for you
Hoping it calls to you
Will you come visit me soon?
It could even be at noon.

Summer sweet tea
Just the way you like it
I'll pour you a glass
If I can just ask,

How have you been?
It is bright and sunny?
I hope it's filled with laughter and your favorite flavored honey

Or maybe that sweet candy coffee you'd make
In that green cup you'd never forget to take
It still sits there
Maybe not where you left it

But I made sure I kept it.
I use it as a vase
For the flowers in my garden
Reserving it for the purple ones

Because I know it's your favorite color
And now it's mine too
It makes me feel so close to you

Purple petals cover the ground
All the hues, make me miss you
I just wish I didn't dismiss you
Because I didn't know how much time we had left

Now I can only move forward
Towards the sun, remembering to have fun
For you, dear mother.
