The tiny name of a tiny flower
Was given to the ABC book
Written by Jakob
Written with love
Written with care
Tiny book for the youngest ones there.
The first with its odor,
softness,
and color.
The flower is embraced by everyone, and
everywhere.
Its name is repeated constantly by
In the words of the alphabet, like a lullaby
Like the chanting of a Canary bird
It is the most precious
Jakob’s gift.
Tiny flower on the
cover of the book.
The flower,
the flower
Of the ABC book.
