Wildflowers

Summer kisses shower me by the door, as Grandma cooks up something sweet smelling on the stove.

I watch as her big brown dog scuffles across the floor, his giant black paws shoving me towards a treasure trove—full of memories!

Papa says he closes his eyes and recalls melodies,
Mama tells me all these scents make her nostalgic...
"A hint of sunshine and pinch of laughter is the remedy
to big city living. So go on and frolic."

I look out the window,
The wildflowers are in full bloom,
All my kinfolk surround me,
My oh my,
What a view!
