Where Poppies Grow The forest yields it's floor to spring. Melodic birds begin to sing. The snow plant rises from it's bed. The bell-shaped flowers, startling red And leafless, lustrous, candystick, Like peppermint that you can pick. In open places, near the sea, The pink azalea likes to be. Where ferns and salal can be found, The baby-blue-eyes hugs the ground. There are so many flowers here To lift our spirits and to cheer. But where the bright, orange poppies grow Upon the hills, it's here I know, The beauty in my mind will stay Long after blooms have died away!

Ah, Betty; this sent my imagination on a dance through those flowery fields! Thanks for the waltz! Hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
