BESIDE FLOWERS, by                    
First Line: Delphiniums make me dream of realms afar
Last Line: And make life brighter for my belov'd.
Subject(s): Flowers


Delphiniums make me dream of realms afar;
Their heavenly blue suggests a land of dreamy splendor,
Of floating gently on a bed of clouds
In painless ecstasy, in freedom from all care;
All troubles gone, no monthly bills to meet,
No dinners to prepare, no dusting, cleaning up, nor anything,
Just resting on a cloud in heaven's blue.

But roses bring me back to earth again;
Their fragrance lures, and makes me wish
To conquer lassitude and aches and pains;
To conquer self and live awhile,
Accomplish things, get busy, hum,
Live, breathe, and love;
Be there when children call,
Fulfill each day the task imposed,
And make life brighter for my belov'd.
