"Sleeping Beauty"

*
Sleeping beauty has appeared
Before me here it seems
A sweet and wondrous baby boy
With him too will dream
Nestled in such comfort
There they both will stay
The two of them together
will sleep away the day!

- my brother William and his grandson "Brandon" - a pair of sleeping beauties -

"The Music of Spring"

The colors the textures
The seeds of the earth
The sound of the music
As flowers give birth
The vine of the trumpet
The tinkling of bells
For Jacks in his pulpit
And all seems quite well
Where hearts that are bleeding
For lace of the queen
And ferns of the forest
Are luscious and green
Her birth we're awaiting
For colors we thirst
For winter is present
And coating the earth
But under the blanket
Of frost that is sharp
The music of springtime
Is tuning her harp

- winter is here thus I am thinking of spring - I love the old fashioned flowers: Trumpet Vine, Blue Bells, Jack in the Pulpit, Bleeding Hearts, Queen Ann's Lace and of course the fern - most of which are found in the woods around here -
