Friday's Fences-Mar 22, 2012

~~~



~~

This fence and wildflower scene is from a different year and season here in north Florida...this was summer - not spring!
 I've always liked this pic so decided to share it today for my "Fence Post!"

 (click on pic to enlarge)

This ride in the country that day, (on our motorcycle) the beauty and wonder of  it all, gave me the inspiration for this poem.

Enjoy!

Roadside Meadow Flowers

Nothing fills me, so,
 with joy that’s most complete,
than roadside, meadow flowers...
 whose names I do not know…
(No pampered garden blossom
 could ever be so sweet)
Their name’s of no importance…
just their golden glow!

Their beauty overwhelms.
 So abundantly they’re sown.
Each golden face turned upward
to catch the warming rays.
There is no grander sight –
 these eyes have ever known.
So to the ‘Master Gardener,’
 I give my love and praise!

  13. Each season has its own charms, doesn't it? Love it when nature takes over and refuses to be "fenced in" as in this photo. Glad you have this one to help bring back memories of great summers past.
