'Mother' says our elder daughter,
her voice registering mock astonishment,
I never thought I 'd see artificial flowers in your home!'
I glance at the bright unruly bouquet, a little guiltily
but then I realize I love the corner where they sit
and the little bird who chirps when you squeeze him,
sitting on a curly willow branch.
In the photo, the lovely bouquet look as cheerful as fresh ones!
ReplyDeleteA nice splash of colour. Don't feel guilty if it gives you pleasure, this pleasure will not fade.
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't told me, I wouldn't know. The color will be nice until the real ones bloom.
