Good Sabbath Morning! February’s flower is the violet – One of the first flowers to bloom! Ever lending its fragrance in the midst of winter’s gloom!
“Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it” Mark Twain
They lie withered, blue violets pressed to the ground Trodden under foot by humanitie’s boot Leaves of green streaked with brown Bleed from the offender’s frown
Their breaths hushed their spirits crushed Oh little ones, you have died only to rise anew Sweetly sleep in your humble tombs until again you bloom
