My Magnolia Tree
2009 April 5
In my backyard I have a Magnolia tree
It is like an old, reliable, trusted friend
Elevating my disposition by many degrees
On its presence… I increasingly depend
As gray winter snow melts and goes away
Its upward stretching branches reassure
Soon sweet-smelling blooms will be on their way
The air fills with a fragrance that is a miracle cure
The blue sky is full of sunbeams and clarity
My heart is gladdened as I walk much taller
In your company, I am blessed with prosperity
The joy you bring outshines a million dollars
Your abundance of blushing flowers amazes me
You have generously outdone yourself this year
Unselfishly you give your beauty…it’s absolutely free
Today feels like a celebration as I applaud and cheer

Such amazing huge blooms on bare trees….magnolia’s are just stunning aren;t they!
I LOVE this! Especially as I did the mother of all impulse buys this week and came home with a Magnolia tree that dear hubby will plant this weekend. They are so lovely, thank you for the wonderful poem (which I may have to steal) and gorgeous photos.
I feel the same about my silvermaple in the backyard, isn’t it funny how a tree can be so comforting!
Very pretty! I would love a magnolia tree.

Yes, magnolias are new to me but I am awed by their braveness.
This is so funny… my husband and I were talking about magnolia trees last night and how much I love them.
Pictures are beautiful!
I love magnolias! I need to get over to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to see their display.
Beautiful photos, beautiful girl, beautiful tree.
How lovely.
Thank you for your reply to my question about organizing! Keeping ideas in a notebook is a good one!
Syb, we have 2 young ones on the North side of the yard tucked cozily among the white pine and spruce trees. It’s protected from the wind there.
Beautiful poem, and you’re so lucky to have a Magnolia tree in your yard!
I love magnolia tree. What a lovely poem. I thought you wrote that until the line at the bottom.
Thanks to Fauna for leaving comments for Sunny. She loves it when Fauna leaves her a comment. First time, it was a big, happy surprise.
Magnolias are my favorite and my best.
