your courage has uplifted me
you might be a pansy,
but there is nothing wimpy or simple about you
Your resistance to the elements has us cheering
Some nights I want to cover you with a bucket
to give you a bit of warmth
but do I remember?
Sadly, I do not.
You thrive in spite of my lack of compassion.
You have enough resilience for the two of us.
When I look outside my window
Seeing your joyful yellow and lush burgundy,
I know the world is going to make it.
You, pansy, have given me hope.
Your courage has uplifted me
and kept me moving forward.
