Reminisce in beauty.

Picture Source

The flowers are growing faster today
I see the stems,
I see them reaching toward you,
I see them lifting up
I never knew, they could grow so tall

In the fields they show up more frequently,
Between the sharp blades of grass,
That flow softly in the breeze

That old tire wheels sways in the wind too
I saw him balancing on it yesterday
I know you wanted to do the same when he was through

Pig tails and blue jean overalls
After tending to your daily chores,
You knew it was time to be free

    I realy liked your poem. It reminds me of myself growing up. We had a swing in a cotton wood tree, and in the summer the flowers were a purple canopy.

    I can picture the tire swing. Just lovely imagery.
    Great job.
