The Blush?

Nicole what is this blush about?

Everyone wants to ask, but some do not.

Is it because it is the first day of Spring?

And the birds are flitting about seeking a nest site?

Or that the hawks call from afar?

Are you a cue to us all that

We enter the beautiful, life-giving time of Spring?

Everyone wants to ask, but some do not.

Nicole what is this blush about?

The rose that lives its little hour

Is prized beyond the sculptured flower.
