Reaching up with silken fingers

touching the sun's rays with her face

She smiles in the sunshine

and the break of day

 

Opening to full bloom

with the coming rain

knowing her time is short

she holds her head up high

 

One last breath as

nature takes her own

One last dance in the wind

and then she heads home

Nancy, LOVELY! WOW :-) I was driving through town yesterday and I saw a ton of magnolia trees, all with lovely blooms. It made me want to plant one in my own yard!
