Just For the Joy

Beside the lake, orange poppies grow
Among the rocks.Their petals blow
On windy days, across the skies
Like pretty, flighty butterflies.
Far in the distance, I can see
What seemingly appears to be
An orange field, that stretches wide
Along the shoreline’s other side.
I always come here in the spring
Just for the joy that poppies bring.
Then thank the Lord, most fervently
For gifts like this He brings to me!

Dear Betty Lou

Poppies are a pretty flower and I really enjoyed reading your poem about them.

Love Verbena xo

Dear Verbena:

I used to love seeing the fields of poppies all in bloom in the spring. That's something I have missed where we live now.

Love
Betty Lou
