Blooming

And when I see the flowers bloom 

I am reminded of the days of past 

Where sunlight filtered in my room 

But the brightest rays did not last.  

For when the sun came higher up 

I say the shadows on my sill 

I’d like to drink sunshine in a cup 

And drink until I had my fill.  

So now I venture out the doors 

To where the flowers rise 

Up out of earth that rain pours 

Its watery golden food surprise.
