Food Coloring in water
That filled a vase
Grandpa ran to the field
To pick Queen Anne's Lace

What color would they turn
Pink, yellow, sky blue
In just a little while they'd turn
Such a magnificent hue

The flowers turned
What ever color you put in
That was my Grandpa though
But he so happily grinned

Why couldn't I see it
The beauty and love therein
The flowers stuck in water
With food coloring dropped in

Now I sit in the Autumn of life
Seeing things in a different light
Grandpas grin tending flowers of lace
Burns in my mind so vivid and bright

You know where I'm heading
At the first sight of bloom
To get some Queen Anne's Lace
For my own living room
