The Essence of Lavender

An odoriferous rouse

this wee purple flower.

It’s variation of use,

it’s extraordinary power.

Ice cream, lemonade, perfume, soap for hands and knee-

vinegar for cooking, relief from a sun burns tear-

medicinal aromatic oils and calming fragrant tea.

Oh, sweet lavender, I’m so glad you’re near,

along with the mountains and sea I hold dear.
