Dear Little Flower
Dear little flower,
I see you
I watch you struggling daily
you are so fragile
the strong wind continuously pushing you
in any direction it wants
always knocking you down
You keep pushing yourself to get back up,
only to be smacked straight down again
Your stem is now weakened and bent
still you keep trying your best to stand tall and straight,
the way you once did
I see you getting lost in the bigger plants that now surround you,
you're always struggling to get some warmth from the sun
yet stay rooted in the shadows of the greenery,
as they unconsciously overwhelm you
I know your struggle never stops
Starting in the cold early morning with the freezing frost covering you
then through the blistering hot summer days
One would assume the breeze would feel good in such scorching weather
however what may be a light breath of air to one;
is a blast of wind so strong that it completely batters your gentle soul,
right to the burning blistering ground
I notice you continuously pulling yourself back up
surviving the days
only to then be alone and so cold during the frigid dark nights
I see you because I am you
I have been you
I know how you feel
I connect with you in this moment;
more than I connect with most humans
We are the same
we are connected on a cosmic level,
that unless one has personally been through
one simply can never understand
I am here with you
We are one
we will always get back up,
no matter how damaged our stems are,
or how deteriorated our petals become
Our Strength is our gentle and loving spirit
The struggle deep within the beautiful flower,
that one can not see simply looking at the outer beauty of the floret
We will always rise
I love you little flower
