Aesculus

_____________________________________

Leaves are crinkled, wrinkled, wrapped up tight

Their unfurling is a sight

Watching with delight

All is right

Grow

*

Round clustered buds open to pure white

Panicles rise to new heights

Watching with delight

All is right

Show

*

Have better things to do I might

But I could stay here all night

Watching with delight

All is right

Know
