My Flower

As I Woke Up I Started To Remember The Storm From The Night Before. As I Felt A Lump Grow In My Throat; Water Filled My Eyes. What Happened To My Flower?Where Did Five Years Of My Life Go? Five Years Of Watering,Five Years Of Caring, And Five Years Of Loving! What Happened To My Flower? Why Do I Feel The Weight Of Mount Everest On My Chest And Shoulders? Why Do I Feel The Cold Waters Of Niagara Falls Flowing Off The Cliffs Of My Face? What Happened To The Feelings Of Happiness That I Felt? My Flower I Gone!Gods Most Beautiful Creation On Earth. Gone! Please God Give Me The Strength To Overcome My Loss, And Give Me The Courage To Grow A New Flower. As I Sit Here And Wait, I Pray For The Strength And Courage To Fill My Heart, In Place Of The Emptiness. The Emptiness That Is Of A Desert Thirsty For Water. An Emptiness Hard To Fill. What Can I Do Next? Should I Search For My Flower? My Empty Heart Tells Me Yes. Can I Search For My Flower? My Mind Tells Me No. Now I Feels Like A Clown Juggling My Heart, Mind, Soul, And Feelings. Why Were We Created To Love And Be Loved,And Hurt Or Get Hurt? Is That What Life Is All About? Who Can Help Me By Answering The Questions I Have No Answer To? Must I Travel To China And Seek A Wise Man In A Temple? Or Just Look Up In The Sky And Ask Why?

A part of love is knowing to let go. When you love something, or someone, give it it's freedom, and if it returns to you, it loves you in return. The wisdom of Moses
