Like flower petals in a puddle,


I’m hanging on,
missing a place I don’t want to be.

Your face,
your words cling onto my memory.
That sweet moment’s suspended in space.

Petals are soaked,
feeling the cool water,


I’m open to the future.
I’m still wishing I could take you with me.

Your face,
your words cling onto my memory.
I’m out of control,
policing no thoughts,
not guaranteeing I won’t think of you.

Come hang out,
spend some precious time with me.
You’re not all I think about,
but you’re a close second,
No, more like
all of the time.

    Such delicate looking petals are sometimes stronger than we think.

      They really are . My one friend told me that I reminded her of a little daisy growing through s crack in the sidewalk. I took that as such a compliment. Nature always finds a way. How are you ?

        I love that – a daisy growing through a crack in the sidewalk. I’m doing well. Hard to believe it’s already June. We’ve been busy gardening and enjoying the sunshine. We’re planning to take some time off in August, which I’m really looking forward to. How have you been these days?

        I just got done with some weeding! Lol 😂 It’s definitely a good time to start gardening. We rent so we have the flowers that are already here which are beautiful and very low maintenance. I’m just not a fan of weeding. Lol 🤣 We’ve been getting out a lot also. I start my new job on the 8th so I’m mentally preparing for that. I’m excited and nervous all at once. August is a good time to take a vacation since I feel most people go during July. We’re going on a trip this summer, too. I’m excited.

        I’m not a fan of weeding either. And it sometimes feels like it’s a full time job to stay on top of it, along with all the other yard work. And speaking of jobs, it’s exciting to hear that you’re starting a new one in a couple of days!! Congrats! I hope all goes well on your first day!

        Glad to hear you’re taking some time off this summer too. Are you going anywhere special? Or just doing a staycation?
