Flash Fiction 55: 12/16/11: This Morning


I looked over
at a young Christmas Cactus,
in full, glorious December bloom.

Someone I know is separated
from her family just now;
Maybe she would enjoy this little plant.

Yesterday I offered her a time
to join me for baking cookies, next week .
She will be visiting her young son,
for part of Christmas...

I love how you worked with the young Christmas Cactus and her young son, and I find a sadness wondering why it is that she is spending only part of Christmas with him. There's a story there, methinks. Sweet of you to bring her cheer, izzy--but then you are that sort of special person. :)
