Fragile As a Flower

I will not let you slip away
I will not let you fall apart
I know what it is like to need nurturing and love
I may not always get it, but i always give it away.
Feeding a flower is like feeding yourself
You bloom when your nourished
You fall to pieces when starved. 
Tulips my friend I will not let you wither
You are a reflection of myself
To see you bloom makes me bloom. 
To see you beautiful makes me beautiful
You represent life, you represent me. 
May we always be in peace and ready to shine our colors.
