Pansy

I think, therefore I am: beautiful
in a simple, smiling kind of a way
velvety, underfoot, a little something
to remember me by

Let me ease your heart
with bard songs that bring
sweet nothings to mind

Carry me close, sprinkle me
with sugar and I will
garnish your days,
a lion-hearted darling
gracing the garden with a flourish
of loamy, bright color-splash

Oh the humble pansy! So ubiquitous, so nice. Thanks for reading!
