Two Flowers

"Two Flowers" by :Sarrah Blaylock i was walking along a sunny path one bright and summer morn ,when two flowers i did stop to adore they were small flowers but healthy none the less ,i came in the morning when they looked their best i came back everyday to watch those flowers grow none understood why i would do so, but in my company those flowers grew as if of my presence they rightly knew but one dark and gloomy day i came to the grass where i would lay and in the grass on that day i saw one of the flowers had gone away , the once bright and happy flower on the right was now dark and lacking life she missed her once best friend she thought he'd be there till the end the next day i came back hoping the flowers smile had come back but to my dismay i discovered the flower hadn't wanted to stay she felt she couldn't go on now both the flowers are forever gone gone away leaving me with a good bye i still wanted to say , one stolen by the sharp knife of a short life ,one taken by their own strife and the world's lack of compassion now that path is lonelier than any mind can fashion because back ago not very long both of those flowers became forever gone
