Way, way out in the garden, in a place where nobody goes
with the help of old mother nature a tiny blue flower grows.
Absorbed in her wind blown dance only nature’s voice she’ll heed.
She’ll live her live in fullness without knowing she’s only a weed
Excerpt from — by Robert C. Murray, Ode to A Flower.
HAPPY SPRING!
