Northern Lights glowing
Soft waves shimmering like dreams
Waiting to come true.

Morning rain falling
Soggy wet flower heads
Bend in silent thanks.

Early morning light
Flowers nodding in the dawn
Serene peaceful calm.

Aunt and Uncle's cabin
On a lake overflowing
With good memories.

Thankful for flowers
Their color so enriching
Their beauty such joy.
