On the hydrangeas

the weight of the morning sun

the evening sun

for the third time
she asks the name

Thank you all so very much! As I write most of my poems from experience, this was from a hospital visit with my grandkids to their grandma. She didn't recognize them at first but when we were leaving, she finally called them by name.
