Mother's Pinies Mother loved her flowers And tended them with care She really had a green thumb And chose ones with a flair Tulips and daffodils in the springtime Chrysanthemums in the fall Summer roses were prize-winning And Mother loved them all I remember her favorite though From the time that I was tiny Peony was the flower's name We hillbillies pronounced it piny Mother's pinies were the envy Of the neighbors in Johnson Bottom Each fall, she would share the cuttings And the women were glad they'd got 'em We always had beautiful bouquets And our home smelled like perfume They made the house look brighter And sat in almost every room Mother is gone to a wonderful place A Land richly abundant with flowers She can sit and look at her pinies As she whiles away the hours I raise many kinds of flowers And have since I've been grown In addition to all the other blooms I now grow pinies of my own Kathleen McCoy Eldridge ©July 20, 2006 All Rights Reserved Contact share
