debutantes

Why feel sad about the apple blossoms

 that have fallen like confetti around our feet

when the lilacs have taken center stage

and the peonies and poppies are waiting for their turn as garden debutantes?

Today I will remember to treasure  the gifts that have been granted for this day.

I will be thankful for what was, and not pine for yesterday.

 I will be hopeful for the future...yet not wish to usher it in too quickly.
