I Love Thee For
Your odoriferous rouse
my wee purple flower.
Your variation of use,
your extraordinary power.
Ice cream, lemonade, perfume, lotion for hands and knee;
vinegar for cooking, relief from sunburn’s tears;
medicinal oils and calming fragrant tea–
Oh, sweet lavender, I’m so glad you’re near,
along with the mountains and ocean I hold dear.
