Happy Birthday! Violette!

VIOLA

(By: Karla Wagener on January 26, 2020, for my great niece Violette)

Bloom, little flower bloom!

Throw your sweet perfume

Up into the air.

Bloom,

Life nonetheless,

Lived without a care.

Yet, in my garden,

Unperceived, you are there!

Bloom, bloom coming forth in beauty,

Miraculously manifesting

Joys of life,

Of some existence

That goes beyond all comprehension!

To be felt.

To be smelt, and heard,

On a dreary Sunday afternoon.
