My Magnolia Tree - Theresa Ann Moore
In my backyard I have a Magnolia tree
It is like an old, reliable, trusted friend
Elevating my disposition by many degrees
On its presence… I increasingly depend
As gray winter snow melts and goes away
Its upward stretching branches reassure
Soon sweet-smelling blooms will be on their way
The air fills with a fragrance that is a miracle cure
