All around was cold and dreary, yet I spotted this in the hedgerow. It always amazes me how if I just ponder a moment and LOOK :roll: just what is around me. cc welcome.

Stop And Smell The Roses

Stop and smell the roses,
taste the nectar of sweet.
Peel back the petals,
tickle your feet!

Take a walk amongst the flowers,
place blue bonnets in your hair,
Sing songs of he love's me not,
two step with the air!

Stop and smell the roses,
Spend some time,
Tend to your bushes,
Pay no mind.

As you walk amongst the flowers,
peer down at your feet.
There's no time to smell the roses
when you're six feet deep.
