The colors jade, pink and lavender
lacy scarfs, shawls and fans
the soft touch of velvet and silk
the sound of fog horns
love notes any time
baby’s giggles and smiles
deep red velvety roses
the kiss of soft breeze
welcoming smiles
fluffy clouds on baby blue sky
tender kisses and hugs
fancy butterflies having their meal
an old love song that once touched my heart.

So much beauty to name
so much to savor, remember
in these days of political pain.
