My Spirit Is Like a Hungry Flower In the Rain

My spirit is like a hungry flower in the rain

Written By Dean Masciarelli

December 14, 2009


My spirit is like a hungry flower in the rain

That wants to continue to grow and climb

As it soaks up everything until its time is done

And when the sun  

No longer shines again

My petals will fall one by one to the ground

And then all of my seeds will be spread around

To all the ones who I happened to leave behind

So that they may continue to grow and blossom
