Fiery Fairies

I want to celebrate the first cherries of the season.

Welcome “Fiery Fairies”!

Oh, Cherry Tree!
You are such a delight!
When you offer your flowers of white,
You welcome and make Spring look bright.
In summer, 
Your heavy branches ignite,
When your Cherries,
Like fiery fairies
Are ripe!

Let us celebrate these luscious love-red hearts and thank the Lord for giving them to us.

And thank you darling Miss Scally, my 7th grade teacher, for showing me, through poetry, the wonder of Cherries Ripe❤ 

The Seed Pod

A tight, pretty pod,
Ready to burst,
Eager to spit
With an abrupt pop
Its precious seeds.
Seeds that will assure
Heavenly mirth.
Seeds that will ensure
Sublime rebirth.
Seeds that will grant
Irrefutable beauty,
Once the seed pod has done
Its venerable beauty.

Gifts

Please, be aware, 
For God has gifts for you everywhere.
A friend.
A new life.
A smile.
A tender touch.
Please, be wide awake,
Don't let them slip away...
