To Magnolia, with Love

Oh Magnolia,
how do I love thee?

Let me count the ways.
I love your soft pink petals,

And how delicately you curtsy.


I love that you are waiting on me in the early morning.
The secrets that you keep,



And the pride with which you bloom.


I would if I could, climb into your graceful limbs and build a sanctuary.





If only you would stay a little longer.

Oh! I want one of those trees!! Gorgeous:-)

Thanks for the comment on my blog today. I'm so glad you looked up the thing about the sweet milk. I asked my grandma and she thought it meant whole milk, but she didn't know why they called it that. I heard it was a southern thing.

Have a great day!
