Your branches Are filled with Glossy green leaves An ordinary looking Bush or small tree Easily taken for granted Sometimes we forget that Seasons change unnoticed What's ordinary to today Can become magnificent tomorrow You are the perfect example Of how easy it is to overlook The wonders of the ordinary In your quiet uniqueness You are blessed in June A time for brides A time when From among Your dainty leaves Spring forth Bouquets of white blossoms Announcing quietly still Your presence Silently Tickling The buds Of our olfactory senses Bidding us To seek To find To view The beauty You've become. |

Dear sweet friend; I love this poem! I adore gardenias because they remind me of my mother, When I would visit her in Florida. She had a gardenia bush and I would put the flowers in my room and wake up to that incredible scent. This poem is as lovely as you and the flower! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ellie LeJeune |
