At the grocery store I pondered the Display of potted plants. The spring flowers tempted me, Especially the fragrant Hyacinths which have been Favorites of mine since I was just A little girl. "But should I pay the $5.00?" I asked Myself. "They won't last long." When a lady pushed her cart close To mine, I asked her the same Question, "Should I buy these Hyacinths?" I suspected what she would say. "Of course. Treat yourself." And so I did. My flowers are in full bloom, and When I walk into the room their Lovely scent greets me. I can't help but walk up to the Purple posies, poke my nose into The floret clusters and take a Deep whiff. Ah! It's true that my hyacinths won't last Long. But that makes them even more Special. I'm glad I treated myself. My money was well spent. |
