T'was just a garden in the rain. Close to a little leafy lane. A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds. The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed thank you. They seemed to say. Surely here was charm beyond compare to view. Maybe it was just that I was there with you. T'was just a garden in the rain. But then the sun came out again. And sent us happily on our way.

heartful of daisies

the boy surprised the girl with a glass full of daisies on monday night... turning her monday gloom to monday bloom. the boy recounted his highly amusing ordeal in his attempt to find those flowers. The girl was touched and brought those blooms to her desk the next morning. She sniffed at those petals and she smiled. Lessons came and lessons went. She sat at her desk at the end of the day, bent forward and sniffed at them again. She smiled. Her heart was glad.
She looked up from all the typing and marking. There they were... smiling back at her. white. orange. yellow. purple. Her heart was glad.

They brought her beautiful memories. past. present. future. She made a promise to herself that she will always make time for all things beautiful.

Friday came. The girl bid them farewell. Knowing that they'll welcome her back on Monday, her heart was glad.
