Million Bells ~ Calibrachoa Flowers

Million Bells

If sights are not set

On a million dollars –

Flowers will surely do

Sunny days will follow

A million bells imbued;

When tinkling in the rain ~

They peek into my window

And pine away the pane.

They invite all the bees

To bumble as they please

A hummingbird can carry

Everything she needs.

Money might make

The world go round ~

It spins so fast

We hit the ground.

Can it ring a million bells?

All those blooms abound,

And strike a chord

We can afford.

After all we do is spend –

Yet nothing is as sweet

Until the bitter end –

The lyrics of the bees.

Life is just a breath away,

When all there is left to say

Is like a butterfly in the breeze.
