Magnolia Miracles
Like hands clasped in prayer,
magnolia buds appeared,
promising the hope of renewal.
Then the sun broke through
and the clouds cleared.
Prayers were answered
as the petals opened wide,
offering exuberance,
and second chances...
to breathe, seek joy,
and be glorified.
This magnolia tree is in my new next door neighbor's front yard! In the photo below, you can see the front of my house next door with the yellow forsythia bushes forming a hedge along the side of it.
