Inspired by my dear friend’s request, sending prayers and love for Donna Hanson. —
for the child within us all . . .
a long summer’s day
lingers alongside deep blue morning glories
opening along a long fence row
reminding us how time slows down and offers renewal
where distant thunder booms
and casts lightning strikes
over standing fields of radiant whites
and golden yellow blooms
where we see their smiling faces
gracefully gathering as if for afternoon tea
where silence is unhurried
and counted in all the in-between and unseen times
where daisy meadows remain even on the highest mountaintops
celebrating their silent rebirth each day
like saying, “Love this day, wherever you are, for you!”
where the slow motion of day’s afternoon light
can gently fade into an evening glow
where moon shadows and firefly lights
sprinkle love onto a simple daisy bouquet
