This quiet beauty of spring lived

a life of ordinary grace

until put to a test contrived

to prove her worthy of embrace;

for she who understand all hearts

and sees those wounds that spare no parts,

she brings release - prosperity -

and weeps tears of new clarity.

When kindness is the blade of choice,

she burns with living gold to show

the good in use we may yet grow;

she stays with us and does rejoice

when we go forth and carry high

the call to answer every die.
