Forget-Me-Nots grow like weeds
(maybe they are weeds)
in all my flower beds this time of year.
I think they are so pretty but once they've bloomed
I "weed" them out of the beds and
tend to throw the dead plants over the fence
into the orchard
They've seeded themselves and
They've seeded themselves and
Now my whole orchard looks like a sea of
blue - so lovely!
I always think of my Mom when these little flowers
bloom because it's always around Mother's Day.
I will pick a nice bouquet and lay it on
her headstone tomorrow on my way to church.
She gave me a love for flowers
and for the ocean
She loved nothing more than to visit her brother and sister-in-law
in Sarasota, Florida
Beside a sea of blue!
It's almost ten years that she's been gone
but I'll "forget-her-not" EVER!

Oh, what a sweet tribute to your dear mother. Mine has had Alzheimer's for years...and though she's still with us, I miss my old mom. xo
ReplyDeleteI love those simple flowers - so much like our mums - tenacious, beautiful, reliable....
ReplyDeleteShe sound like one fantastic person. We all have such fond memories of who are mothers are and what they have passed down to us. Hope you had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI love the peaceful quiet look of those little flowers against the fence. A tender post of a mom who spoke into your heart. Loved that picture of her at the ocean......what a treasure. So carefree! hugs.
