Flower
I watched you plant your roots beneath my feet
Than I watched you sprout two leafs and slowly breathe
Everyday I watched you struggle and persevere
Through all the opposing elements you endured fear
Later I saw you standing tall holding a coccoon
Within this shelter one day would show the real you
Than you blossomed colors and started reaching for the sun
Unselfishly giving life to all that would soon come
I saw creatures drinking dew that dripped from your petals
And some carried pieces of you accross the meadow
Like an open book you were there for all to see
So proud and loved and held in most high esteem
You danced in the wind so wildly and free
With a certain fragrance oh that smelled so sweet
Your individual colors reflect that of a rainbow
In time as you grew wiser you too would sew
Than yesterday I saw you float accross a breeze
Spinning in glide but yet so gracefully
Than you layed there looking up from the scorched earth
So I layed you in the garden you deserved
and your spirit would return
