LAVENDER

Dedicated To All My Dear Friends

The fragrance of lavender ...

And I drift away ...

To Provence ... and

My wonderful "days in the sun"

...

When I was well ...

And healthy ...

And young ...

And life was good ...

And had just begun.

In those halcyon days,

I was a sunflower

...

Engoldened, emboldened

By the Provencal sun ...

But now, I'm raggly-taggly

And straggly

...

My blooming days

Most definitely done!

But, a hint of lavender ...

And I drift away ...

The fragrance evokes memories,

So happy, so dear ...

So vivid and vital

In my mind's eye ...

Those glorious days

Of yester-year.....
