a smile and a tear
viewing faded photographs
more smiles and more tears

flipping the pages
boyhood days of my three sons
mem'ries awaken

just trampled upon
its life unappreciated
weeds have flowers too


oo0oo


prolific year round 
yet unwanted and unloved
wild flowering weeds

halted by a leaf
ending its waltz with the wind
rose apple flower


oo0oo


plucked in infancy
pinkish life it cannot have
a windblown flower
