The triumph of spring


Yesterday, while my daughter napped, 
I took a walk around the yard 
Of the house where she’s recovering 
 From her latest chemo infusion 
And found these beautiful irises. 
How is it, that beauty can be so reassuring; 
That spring’s return after a long hard winter 
Always reminds us life can triumph 
 Over obstacles sometimes too painful to be borne?
