The Blooming Lotus

From the dirty waters carrying mud,
Blossoms a little flowering bud.
And it grows with soft petals & a thick stem.
In the pond, the lotus truly stands out as a gem.

Plucked from Flora's heavenly shrine,
The flower is of endless charm & beauty divine.
Pink or white, it got different hues.
For painters, this jewel is a natural muse.

So even if our life is as muddy as a puddle,
One day we'll be beautiful crossing life's hurdles.
Open up your petals, end life's gloom,
Embrace grace like the lotus that blooms.
