Country Colored Memories
Goldenrod, those shades of yellow
flowing gently next to the willows
a backdrop of a field of green
not more beauty have I ever seen
She springs up in the summertime
A fluffy yellow, she works overtime
She is sheltering for the butterflies
an array of colors to please the eyes
Goldenrod, late bloomers they are
They are worth the wait by far
From the family of the sunflower
standing tall, exhibiting power
When you look upon her beauty and grace
Goldenrod brings a smile to your face
