By The Lakeside Poem by Margaret O Driscoll
By The Lakeside
Velvet reed mace by the lakeside
Swans glide on the mirror serene
Buttercups gold among grasses
In heat haze a calming scene
I sit on a mossy stone relaxing
The lake a reflection of sky
Fluttering along just beside me
A beautiful orange tip butterfly
As I retrace my footsteps
The butterfly flutters so free
Spirit of a long lost loved one
Descended to accompany me
Margaret, you have the ability to bring back so much memories that's a gift not all have.dont lose it Thank you for sharing
Dan, thank you so very much, I was inspired by the orange-tip butterfly, hadn't seen one in so long, it fluttered beside me and was alongside me all along as I walked along a path!
Margaret, you have the ability to bring back so much happy memories, A beautiful gift that not all have
