Just Can’t Wait
Is this real life or only an illusion?
There seems to be some sort of confusion,
Don’t forget this is only November,
But this happened last year, I remember,
I could see the pink buds beginning to form,
An abundance of them, quite out of the norm,
I knew it was early, but enjoyed the display,
As the buds slowly opened up into a flowering array,
So beautiful it was, and I couldn’t help but smile,
Because it really couldn’t wait, not even a little while,
My Christmas cactus thinks it’s a Thanksgiving flower,
It doesn’t know the date, time or even the hour,
My gorgeous cactus blooms this time every year,
And I am thankful for it, it gives me Thanksgiving cheer,
A precursor to a season of joy to come,
When the little drummer boy will beat his little drum,
So shhh, don’t tell the cactus it celebrates the wrong holiday,
For a Thanksgiving cactus it will stay!
