Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

O blossom
O so fair
Your beauty thee can not compare
My heart's acceleration when in your sight
Your fostering and nurturing seeds of self esteem
Your sweet scent only a dream
Waiting for the bud in my heart to open
For you O so fair
Your enviable position,
Your lofty perch,
That even mountain's bow and snow melts away
By your flamboyance
O the scent of spring in bloom
