are like delicate
dollops of sunlight
bobbing in the breeze.
They greet you
with a sunny smile
alongside paths
among the trees.
Buttercups remind me of childhood and walks to and from the bus stop. In the spring and summer months, they were always there along the side of the road, greeting us not with the brash enthusiasm of the dandelions or the muted hello of blackberry blossoms, but with a cheery bright smile and delicate reach.
They still greet me in the same way now that I’m grown and encounter them more often along forest trails than in overgrown ditches, and still lighten and brighten my soul even on the darkest of days.
Awww that’s so pretty, baby. I love your descriptions. And I love seeing things through your eyes and your camera lens. Thank you for starting this up again.
I love you, beautiful
