Glowing Hearts

Redbuds fascinate me. In the spring they cover themselves 

in fuzzy sweaters made up of tiny pink florets.

In the fall, they produce curly black seed pods that are

backed by heart-shaped yellow leaves.

Here the sun shines through the leaves, 

creating a golden, heart-shaped glow 

that shines like a thousand bits of love, 

there for anyone who cares to see.
