FLOWERS OF MAY

Like flowing lace the hedges glow
With May`s soft petals white;
Wild flowers bloom in glory cloaks
And summer garlands bright.

For years we placed these blossoms
`Neath a statue in our home,
And a tender prayer we whispered there
To Mary so well known.

No fingers green,no special care,
But nature`s own sweet way,
Made of the little flowers,
So perfect a display.

Their scent was next to heavenly,
Unique was their array;
They are something truly special,
Those sweet wild flowers of May.
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
