Days and Petals

Days are like petals, sometimes there are many, 
sometimes there are few.
sometimes they are rotten,
sometimes they're like new.

My life is like a flower, 
it started as a seed
and ill grow to be a tower.
hopefully someday,
someone will pick me.
not for the petals that grow, 
but for the promise that I hold,
and they will pick me for me.

Whoa! Just beautiful. The message totally rocks. The way you've used petals to describe days drives the point home. And I like what you concluded 'pick me for me' -it's like flowers, people pick them up mostly without much thought, but to be able to pick up one because it's the one you want, now that is something special. Lovely write Taylor!
