We each have our time to shine.
Some of us come bursting forth
While others take their sweet time.
Reach to the sun blushing pink,
And take center stage while the others
Stand in your shadow.
Aromatic fragrance, your gifts spread
to all that stop to visit and they are
touched, never the same.
Time passes quickly, so enjoy the spotlight one last time.
Soon, it will be someone else’s turn.
Petals drop,
while fall’s chill
brings harvest of abundance.
Late Bloomer

The weather finally has started to change and cool off with gusty winds and alerts and we’re praying for some rain in California!!! My rain dances sure haven’t been working.
This one lone rose is beautiful last reminder to capture the moment. Have a beautiful day and remember to stop to appreciate the little moments of blessings all around you.
Blessings of Love,
💖

Cindy, if you have ever been to high school reunions, this first stanza is very telling.
We each have our time to shine.
Some of us come bursting forth
While others take their sweet time.
Given the way I look, I surprise folks when I say I treasure the eclectic among us. Often, those eclectic folks are more appreciated once they get out into the mainstream world and realize how overrated popularity is. Keith
Oh I love you wisdom always Keith. It’s too bad it takes this long to become wise. Reunions are tell telling for sure!!!
You not only look amazing but magnetizing and electric! Did I mention wise? 💕😂💗yes I did!
Cindy, well I wasn’t fishing for a compliment, but thank you immensely. My mentioning of looks is many think I am this ol’ conservative guy, when in truth, I love interesting and eclectic people, such as poetry writing yoga instructors. All the best, Keith
Not at all! You have many facets which is what makes you so endearing Keith-:)💕
Hi Cindy!! Beautiful poem dear, loved it. We indeed should stop and appreciate what all is there at that very moment in our life ❤️💖 Lovely picture of the rose 🌹🌹🌹
Love and hugs❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hi Dear Sameeen!
I’m so glad you liked it my friend! It’s so very true! That’s all we have so it’s vital for us to do that! It is so fragrant as well… sending you some sweet fragrance for your day.
Thank you always 💕🌹🌹🌹🌹💕
Lovely poem. I like the line, Soon, it will be someone else’s turn. In our Woodlake Kiwanis club, that has definitely been the case. They lost a couple of their older leaders, including me. New ones have risen up and the club is stronger than ever.
Thank you so much dear Marsha! Oh it’s so hard and yet endearing to see our work be carried on!
You will be back to lead the troupes soon-:)💕🌺
Actually I moved, so I’m out and I’m so proud of what is happening.
oh oh, got it. that’s a great feeling!!! so happy about that Marsha!!!💖💖🌷🙏
Such a pretty rose! The poem is profound and the lines, exquisite- indeed, we all have our time to shine and before we know it, our time will be up 🙂 Late bloomers sre so underrepresented. Thanks for acknowledging our humble presence with this lovely poem ☺️ Here, a fully bloomed flower for you 🌹
It was a lovely surprise and so glad you liked it Sam! Thanks for sharing your wisdom so true with me-:)
They sure are and you my friend are wise beyond words… nothing late blooming with you.
Thanks for the beautiful rose and here is a dozen for you!
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Shall turn the dozen into a bouquet with just a bit more colours- here you go 💐
Oh I love that!!! TY! 💕💗
Lovely poem Cindy..👍💕
PS: Reminded me of Konkani hymn (from my childhood)
“ಸ್ವೀಕಾರ್ ಕರ್ ಸೊಮಿಯಾ ಹೆಂ ಫುಲ್
ಜಿಣ್ಯೆಂತ್ ಮಜ್ಯಾ ಸುಖಾಚೆಂ
ಧುಳಿಂತ್ ಪಡೊನ್ ವೆಚ್ಯಾ ಪಯ್ಲೆಂ
ಕರ್ ತುಂ ತೆಂ ತುಜಾ ಮೊಗಾಚೆಂ”
“Please receive this flower, O Lord! ,
Flower of my good deeds and fortune.
Before it falls to the earth,
Make it your beloved flower”
🙏🙏🙏

Nice literary choice; all of them.
Oh thank you so very much. And flowers to you 💖🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 today!
Cindy my dear, what an outstanding, heartwarming, and thought-provoking poem! 🤔 I was a late bloomer in some things, but as the old adage says (in some cases of course) “Better late than never!” 🌺 🌹 🌷 I was thinking at my Hibiscus trees and due to the intense heat, although I watered them often, they did not bloom like I thought they would this year. A few days ago, I looked on my front porch and saw the most brilliant blossoms. 💐 Due to the circumstances, I guess you would say it bloomed right on time! Thanks so much for sharing this reminder Cindy!!! 😍 🥰 😘
Oh Thank you so much dearest Kym. I’m really glad you enjoyed it and I just love what you said and I soooo much agree!~ “the old adage says (in some cases of course) “Better late than never!” 🌺 🌹 🌷 indeed so wise and true!!!! Oh what a welcome surprise for you to see the beautiful Hibiscus. Those are glorious. Yes, right on time for a little perk. xoxoxo💖💖
You are so refreshing Cindy…a truth breath of fresh air my friend! 😊 I appreciate you opening your heart to us in the way that you have. 🥰 Thank you! 🙏🏼
Oh Kym … why thank you so much! I feel the same way about you my friend. 💕🌹♥️🙏

💜 A Child is an Early “Bloomer” EveryOne; a KiDult is a “Late Bloomer” having Returned to The Purity of Their ChildLike State which (WITCH!!!) 🙄 many Moms 👩 DisApprove 👎🏿Of 🤣 😍 🙌
…💛💚💙…
Perfect just the way we are Yernasia! 💕🌹👍🏼👍🏼💗
💜 Exactamundo SupaSoulSis; it’s Crystal Clear Clarity 👌🏾, Exist, Experiment and Experience…sure EveryOne, there WILL!!! Inevitably Be Regrets and Remorse; but ALL These Awful, Dreadful Things Pass then We ARE, as a Child, Returned to The Purity of Our ChildLike State with ALL The Benefits of Being ‘Grown Up’ and NOT!!! So SERIOUS!!! AnyMore…the Best Time To Laugh is when Told by a ‘Grown Up’ “THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER!!!”; it’s The Cosmic Joke and Whitney Houston, may SHE!!! R.I.P, put it Perfectly with “…I believe Our Children are Our future, Let Them Live and Let Them Lead The Way…” ergo if a Child takes YOUR!!! Hand Let Them Lead EveryBody
…💛💚💙…
You’re very talented Cindy.🤗😘❤️
Oh that is so very kind Laleh, coming from you!!!! 💖💖🌷🌷
Always pleasure sweetheart.💕🌷

Well said, Cindy. There are times to bloom and times to reflect. I’m not sure that it is ever too late, but that recognizes that there are many ways to bloom, and continue to bloom. –Curt
Thank you so much Curt. Yes indeed.. well said, always time to reflect It’s never too late until it is. 😢. But we always keep blooming💖🌷 hugs and love my friend💖
Reminds me of the Sound of Music. “Edelweiss, Edelweiss, may you bloom and grow forever.” 🙂
love that song!💖❣️
