ubazakura saku ya rogo no omoiide
the old-lady cherry
in bloom: a remembrance
of her old age

Spring will bring back youth
to her
So happy in that pink
dress
Listening to granny’s tale
As pink petals fill the
air
Such a sweet, lovely feel to this! Makes me think of Mother's Day, when my very elderly grandmother had her makeup done and was wearing a brand new dress - she was beaming. :)
