Fragrant Flower

There're fragrant flowers in full bloom With colors radiant, vibrant, bright! Pure joy exuding while you groom Your first glimpse captures eyes filled with light Finding delight in the wondrous, mysterious gift! And though given for only a while, still, is alright So dreams are built never imagining the rifts As you nurture, guard and lead along the way Help fulfill a purpose –others to uplift Gentle pruning with care so they do not stray Validate worth through kindness and care For certain, one day petals will fall into disarray And too soon, the sun will set and awaken fear A time when the dreams lie forever silent; broken Rest assure, beautiful spirits live forever, near Alive in roots, like fine lace woven The legacy of love leaves an unending trail Yet, nailed in a place secure and proven At home in your soul where it cannot be derailed ~*~ 5/29/13 For Debbie's "When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Get Going" Contest
