Missing Purple

Missing Purple

I know I should be thankful

There's no snow upon the ground.

But brown and gray, every day,

make me sad, profound.

I miss the color yellow,

and green, red, and blue.

I miss the orange poppies,

and every other hue.

But what I want to see the most,

that harbinger of Spring,

is a tiny purple crocus,

that sets my heart to sing.
