My Little Flower

This poem was written about my small business.  Perhaps it will mean something else to you.  


Grow my little flower
Take all the time you need
Don't throw in the towel, over a shower
You were once a tiny seed

Look how you've grown
The stepping stones you cleared
You couldn't have possibly known
Until your beautiful buds appeared

Admire another's elegance
But don't take time to compare
beauty is nice, but dense
Let it float about the air

A swan may envy a peacock
Vibrant feathers, standing tall
Jealousy won't stop the clock
Before long, the swan will fall

If only the swan knew
The beauty she possessed
More feathers would accrue
As she gave life her very best

Life is a lovely dance
You were created to thrive
Embrace it with romance
Keep your hopes and dreams alive

Don't be discouraged by the time consumed
Becoming who you were meant to be
Remember how you bloomed
For all the world to see

It didn't happen over night
Storms and elbow grease
Don't live your life by fright
You are only here on lease
