Magnolias

I’m more of a wildflower girl.

I don’t much care for wearing shoes.

My hair is never perfect.

The latest trends and fashions don’t matter much to me.

 But…

When I see the grand Magnolia blossoms,

I may stand up just a bit straighter,

I might speak a little more properly,

I may even imagine I could live in a grand home…

with Magnolias arranged in a bowl adorning the entrance hall.

This tree is in the corner of our back yard. 

I thought the enormous blossoms, lace, and a beautiful evening

would add some loveliness to pictures of my daughter, Kadence.

If you look very closely three quarters of the way up the tree,

You’ll see a monkey.

Oh wait, that’s just the little sister.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.”

Psalm 103:1
