Thinking About Flowers

I've been thinking about flowers, and green grass, and sunshine, and warm days. Spring keeps teasing us this year, unusually warm one day, cold the next. It makes me wonder where I'm at. Lost. Confused. Cold. In honor of my confusion I think I'll spare you and stick to sharing some song lyrics today. It's one of my favorite Greg Brown songs. Most Greg Brown songs are my favorite...it depends which one is playing. But today, this one is my favorite.

"You Are A Flower"

Your smile makes me smile

I can always see your face

You help me make it through every day

You're with me every place

You left so much here with us

Your love is all around

Your children's children will smile that same smile

and say "oh look what I have found"

You are a flower

shining for a while

You are a flower

What a life, what a woman, what a smile.

And I will laugh and I will sing

and I will go on through

To let this love just come on out

that's what I learned from you

Your heart went out to everything

a field of stones, a field of flowers

and when we form that magic ring

we feel your hand in ours

You are a flower
shining for a while
You are a flower
What a life, what a woman, what a smile.
