Flower

A flower fading here today and gone tomorrow. The breath of life created by God struggling to live and not die. Tossed around from within, in constant motion. A flowers petal delicate and true a ray of sunshine bringing out such beauty for you. The perfect gardener tending to its every need. Strong and firm, yet tender, always giving the flower sustenance. As the flower basks in the glory of life itself, enjoying the journey and holding nothing back. Living in the moment for which it was created, pleasing the creator, the giver of this life. As the sun fades, the flower begins to close in for the night not knowing the future. The night seems long and cold, time moves by ever so slowly. The wind picks up and try's to hurl the fragile flower from its resting place. The flower uses all its strength to stand its ground, when all at once the wind begins to die down, finding the flower still around. As the night comes to an end and the sun rises once again, the flower so delicate and true, opens up and gives forth its beauty for you. The flower happy for another day, taking in everything in its view, not knowing what tomorrow holds, but thankful for today.
