I Am a Flower

I Am a Flower (Internal rhyme) I've recently begun to think ~ of myself as a flower I'm a bloom on the brink ~ of dying with each hour. But I've also come to learn ~ that I should not fear death. It's a concept I'll not spurn ~ when I take my final breath. The reason that I know ~ is that a flower is just a part Of the seed God did sow ~ from deep within His heart. Little buds will form anew ~ upon my sturdy stem. It's a prophecy come true ~ and it's all because of Him. As each withered blossom falls ~ another starts to thrive. God waters one and all ~ to keep us healthy and alive. Each Autumn I stand tall ~ and proudly show my face. It's the best season of all ~ for my petals are in place. I'm a colorful attraction ~ to those who visit me. Bringing much satisfaction ~ to the busy little bees. Take in my fragrant scent ~ Enjoy it while it lasts. My beauty was surely meant ~ to linger when I've passed. But I'll never weep or mourn ~ a demise such as mine For when I was born ~ I was placed upon God's vine. From tiny bud to wilted end ~ I live for just a while In a garden God does tend ~ I'm His fragile little child. Mother's roots are intact ~ there are more like me to come. I have a name, in fact ~ I am called Chrysanthemum.
