Violets In Spring

As winter spring follows
I see appear in the hollows
Violets' blue faces
Found in secret places

 In shadowed nook, 
 By the bending of the brook
At foot of the mighty tree
Or strewn on the lee

 Maiden flowers shy
Growing upturned to the sky
Of faithfulness they declare, 
These timid flowers fair

 With delicacy they always charm,
With beauty the heart they ever warm
For a violet in the spring
Is an immortal thing

G'day Gracie … after harsh winters it's so good witness colours returning and what better than a violet to warm a soul. Your verse offers this Gracie - thank you - Lindsay

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"! Thank goodness for that as we are always surprised when it appears! Aloha! Rico
