Daffodil Hill

Cleveland has such a unique treasure in Lakeview Cemetery. Not only is it rich in history, the absolute beauty of it inspired me to write a poem about Daffodil Hill.

I hope you all like it as much as I do.

Daffodil Hill

A daffodil
For each memory
That keeps you
Dear to me

A hill full
Of flowers
Strewn
About the trees

A fragrant scent
Sweeps around
As I pray
Upon my knees

Touched by
The smell of you
My sadness drifts away
And then flees

It's planting time!

I am in the middle of planting wildflowers that will attract, hopefully, butterflies and hummingbirds! This will be my first actual attempt at a garden, since I was in a condo previously.

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek to my new book, Beatiful You.

It is the title poem.

Beautiful You

I look into your eyes
Beyond a million tears
To see you begging
To rid you of your fears

I look at your mouth
Beyond a tired frown
To see you wondering
When you’ll wear your crown

I look into your heart
Beyond its breaking beats
To see you asking
If you can endure the heat

I look at your hands
Beyond their aching joints
To see them praying
Your anguished mind to anoint

I look into your soul
Beyond its hopeful feeling
To see you anticipating
Its eventual healing

I look into
All these parts of you
And see nothing less
Than beautiful you
