TO ALL OF YOU MOTHERS--GRANDMAS --SISTERS AND AUNTS OUT THERE I DEDICATE THIS POEM FOR MOTHERS DAY
TO ALL OF YOU WHO GIVE YOUR LOVE TO A CHILD.......GOD BLESS


                                               Let Me Come Back  by  Cecil L. Gatten

                                                            Let me come back in lilac time ..no matter where I roam;
                                                             Wherever I am at lilac time.. I long for home.
                                                            Though other fields may greener...and sunnier be the clime,
                                                            Old memories will return to me...when comes sweet lilac time.

     I love this time of year when the fragrance of the lilacs stream through the air
with scents that bring back memories of grandmas and mothers who often picked a big bouquet and set them in the dinning area or beside their beds so they could enjoy the beauty of such fragrant and beautiful flowers.

 I wish all of you who are mothers ....A VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

  5. Lovely poem. I have been cutting lilacs for the home for a week now. I will take a small vase to Fran tomorrow. I know you already have some bushes.

  6. Elaine, thanks for visiting me and making a nice comment today. I am the grandma of the sleepover girl.
    When I was growing up, there was a big lilac bush growing on the fence around the yard. I can almost still smell it. It brings such wonderful thoughts.
    Thanks for the poem.

  9. Elaine, I want to wish you a Happy Mother's Day as well! Just the smell of lilacs brings back fond childhood memories! There were white and lavender ones growing outside my bedroom window. One summer my mom painted my room the same shade as the lilacs and every chance I could get, I would bring in a bouquet of lilacs into my bedroom. For a few years I even wore lilac perfume by Avon because I loved that smell! Have a wonderful week!
    Live Creatively!
