Violets
It was just a remnant in the bargain bin.

The most delicate effort produced a baby dress.
Violets for sweet Violet, the baby new to us.
A grand star in the soft light of dusk.

Lovely. I have always loved the word “Violets” I don’t know why. I’d like to have been called Violet. Beautiful words there, Lisa.

“It was just a remnant in the bargain bin.” And then taken and transformed into something new to carry someone into a new life. Beautiful. Simply beautiful, Lisa 🙂
