A Tribute To Tulips

A tulip doesn't strive to impress anyone.

It doesn't struggle

to be different than a rose.

It doesn't have to.

It is different.

And there's room in the garden

for every flower.

You didn't have to struggle

to make your face different

from anyone else's on earth.

It just is.

You are unique

because you are created that way.

Look at little children in kindergarten.

They're all different

without trying to be.

As long as they're unselfconsciously being themselves,

They can't help but shine!

Quote by: Marianne Williamson

Fragrantly Flirting

Hyacinths are such flirtatious flowers

Their perfume, a delightful tease

They feign naiveté of their powers

Shyly blooming

Low to the ground

While their fragrance

Calls to those who pass

Enchanting us with great ease

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time

there lived in a certain village a little country girl,

the prettiest creature who was ever seen.

Her mother was excessively fond of her;

and her grandmother doted on her still more.

This good woman had a little red riding hood made for her.

It suited the girl so extremely well

that everybody called her

Little Red Riding Hood.

"Little Red Riding Hood"

by Charles Perrault

The flower is a red Trillium

Aglow

Friendship is a shiny thing

A steady beam of light

A lantern on a lonely street

A song far in the night

Daffodils,

Setting my garden aglow

Crocus Focus

Although the crocuses have already

come and gone

So fast,

I barely had time to appreciate their

bright little heads

I'm going to stop

and re-focus

On the internal fascinations

of a crocus

Sundrop

The tiniest smile

is a drop of sun.

The smallest laugh

is a ray of light.

Do You Believe?

It's true,

what they say...

People who don't believe in fairies will never find them.

Here's your chance.

Look closely at the photo above.

Can you spot it?

Most of us will see this,

truly magical in every way,

Maple seeds ready to unfurl their soft green wings.

But,

for those who hold magic deep in their hearts,

who continue to light the spark

that turns the

Ordinary

 into the

Extraordinary

You will see
Maple Forest Fairies

rising from the forest floor,
wearing long, golden caps.

Where there's one,

there's many more.

Let's join them

as they laugh and dance and sing,

for they know

it's time

to celebrate

Spring!
