I saw a wild violet…
growing by the road;
she couldn’t raise her face to me…
because of her heavy load.
she couldn’t raise her face to me…
because of her heavy load.
Her leaves were limp and wilting:
she felt she had no worth.
Her roots to Life were stunted…
by the dryness of the earth.

Her roots to Life were stunted…
by the dryness of the earth.
In some strange way, the violet’s plight…
touched a chord in me, so deep.
I shed compassionate tears on her
and she awoke from sleep.
touched a chord in me, so deep.
I shed compassionate tears on her
and she awoke from sleep.
What joy for me to see her now…
opening wide her violet eye;
and nodding with ‘a knowing smile’ –
each time I pass her by.

Remember the environment…
shapes the way that people grow;
and they discover what Love means…
when God’s love to them, you show!
