The Flower

He was lost in the desert
for the miles he could not stand
As he traveled for a distance
he was not prepared to land

And he passed the many sand grains
for his life that would be rough
When he came upon a flower
saying life for you is tough

And I saw it in his eyes
that he knew the flower's right
and the flower knew to say to him
I'm better than you -right?
