little pink buds<\/p>\n

unfurling into delicate frilly<\/p>\n

petal clusters<\/p>\n

deep cerise dot in center<\/p>\n

breathe morning sunlight<\/p>\n

inhale sweet-scented fancy<\/p>\n

pleated vintage peonies.<\/p>\n

Lynda’s Reflection on this poem:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In my poems I sing\u00a0 praises to God for the beauty of His spectacular\u00a0 creations in our\u00a0 natural world,<\/h4>\n

I celebrate\u00a0 God’s gifts as I encounter them in my walks in the woods, standing on a ridge overlooking the flowing creek below,\u00a0 gazing\u00a0 up into the magnificent sky,\u00a0 or the\u00a0 tiny center of a fragrant\u00a0 flower like\u00a0 the one I describe in this poem.<\/h4>\n

The vintage peony plants in my garden were planted on this property around 1929,\u00a0 when this home was built by John and Amanda Duncan.\u00a0 Amanda told me that she planted these flowers when the house was built and that was in 1929.<\/p>\n

Each spring the plants begin to come up from the earth, and the flowers are probably as beautiful as they were when Amanda planted them nearly 100 years ago.\u00a0 God’s world is amazing, isn’t it!\u00a0 I stand in reverence\u00a0 as I contemplate God’s gifts of abundance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
