Grandma's Lilacs

Grandma's yard was full of flowers
Never were there weeds
Sweetly smelling velvet petals
She planted all from seeds.

Roses, daisies, daffodils,
I caught my breath each time
I walked into this little garden
It's beauty was sublime.

Grandma loved her lilacs best
She held her breath each year
Hoping that the weather held
A late freeze she would fear.

The magic morning would arrive
When fragrance filled the room
And I would know before I looked
Grandma's lilacs were in bloom.
