I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home.
Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.).
Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,
I moved more into poetry following that period.
Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.

A Flower

A color,
A smell,
A growing up,
A stretching out,
A blowing by the wind,
A standing still,
A being shined on,
A being rained on,
A being mooned on,
A being there in the ground,
A saying "no" to the weeds,
A staying a flower!

Margery Layton
