#316 Flower Buds And Peppermint Poem by Jimmie Arrington

Did you see the sky today?
The colours cast my fears away
And set my heart at ease.
Did you taste the falling rain?
It tasted as sweet as sugar cane,
At least my mind agrees.

Did you hear the gentle breeze
Winding through the grass and trees,
Barely making a sound?
Did you feel the cleansing air
Wafting by without a care,
Drifting from town to town?

Did you smell the garden’s scent,
The flower buds and peppermint,
The sage and rosemary?
Truthfully, if I can be sincere,
I wish somehow that you were here,
Taking in this day with me.
