A Flower

A flower that has once lived and aged
With all of life's opportunities engaged
Then lost its petals and its scent
Waits stilled, extends its lessons of life waged

A beautiful reminder to live life to it's fullest... It was nice to read about a lovely spring flower when we are right in the middle of the cold winter... Very well written, Sara...

Crystallized observation of life, its budding, blooming and finally its withering and the lesson it leaves. Enjoyed your poem dear Sara. Happy New Year!

A beautifully penned piece Sara, so much meaning portrayed, in the end sometimes all we have left to pass on, are our own lessons in life, cheers David
