For Steve…
How can I be so beautiful?
Then disappear before your eyes
I’m here today, then off I go
I know you’ve wondered why
Perhaps it’s meant to happen
Paving the way, for another bloom
Upon the stalk, that holds me up
Perchance, it needs more room
Though I am here to dazzle, it seems
For merely a day or two
My time here, is a short one
So I’ve blossomed, just for you

Beautiful Dorinda! Here today, maybe tomorrow, but your poem takes it to a timeless dimension. Another bloom must follow! Thanks for brightening my day. I have some 🌺 images) we call them ‘papos’ here … maybe you’ll allow me to link to your poem one day?

I love your hibiscus poem. The hibiscus is one of the most fragile yet beautiful flower that exists.

I know I will. Stories inspire stories. Now I’m the uncle and a younger-than-us soul is watching me the way you observed your Uncle Fred. Growing up is, well … interesting in the 60’s then and the 10’s now. I know I will enjoy your stories. I look forward to Chapters 4, 9, 14, 16, 19, and 21 … maybe not in that order!
