Monday Moments - Sheer Joy by Joanne Faries


Sheer Joy by Joanne Faries

Tiny hand plucked the bright yellow flower

love overwhelmed him

sturdy legs churned

fleet feet pitter pattered up the walk

gift for his favorite person

mom's hand outstretched


This is a friend's grandson, and her daughter posted the pic on Facebook. It just made me smile. The energy, the joy, the love.  I gathered dandelions by the boatload as a kid, and mom had a dixie cup ready - filled with water for the shortest stems ever. 

Happy Spring Forward everyone. I hope you have a good week.

  1. Cute. If he's going to pick flowers, picking the dandelions out of the lawn is best.
