The Flower

She begins as a seed A tiny blossom laying in wait Asking for the sun’s warmth And a little rain for her thirst to sate Soon she grows But a bloom she does not make She’s just beginning her life And not quite yet awake Given time she’ll flourish Her beauty to dispel upon you She’ll weather storms, animals And other elements too A single flower alone in the world Doing what little flowers should She’ll radiate her beauty and Bring a smile to all that is good But soon Father Time comes to call And all must come to a stop Her blossom will begin to fade But a legacy she leaves on For with Nature’s help Another flower she has made This single flower has touched the lives of many She has warmed the hearts of many a one This single flower will never really die As long as we let her beauty linger on This and all other works contained in this site are copyrighted©.
