It’s Lilac Day

It’s Lilac day! The tree’s in bloom
It’s lovely fragrance we’ll consume
The house will fill with sweet perfume
It’s Lilac day today!

This is true my favorite day
I feel content in every way
Just like a little girl at play
Because it’s Lilac day

It’s my favorite time of year
When Lilac flowers first appear
I don my gloves and garden shear
And laugh along the way

Everyone has little things
That make the heart with pleasure sing
That set off  special bells to ring
For me it’s Lilac day

I go outside with giddy grin
Just bubbling from the joy within
Let’s breath in life and take it in
Enjoy this Lilac day

I am a Lilac gatherer
My sharpened shear will scavenger
The light and dark of lavender
Oh yes!, It's Lilac day!

Let me have my silly way
But I’ll come in with full bouquet
And you will love the fine display
And Lilac’s fragrant day

Lovely poem! I can't say I know what lilacs smell like...I haven't ever seen one. Liz, please write a poem describing a lilac so I can see and smell one through you...

Love and hugs,
Lizzie
