Poem: The Humblest Flower



The Humblest Flower


It rises on the side of the road,
blue, vibrant and calming,
the humblest flower,
too often unseen,
like love in the late summer
of life.

The picture is of a Batchelor's Button. I love formal gardens and all the rich colors of spring and summer, but Batchelor's Buttons are my favorite flower. You can click on it for a larger version.
