The Flower

Our lives are indeed much like a flower. We can be dainty,soft to the touch and 
easily bruised. Some of us are vivid,ornate & unusual. Others,simple and small. In 
the days of warmness, we shall thrive and bloom. In the cold,we lie dormant;still but 
not dead. If given the proper attention, we shall all last a number of years. And if 
not,cherish the memories,always...Love makes for longevity...

The flower metaphor is quite good. An inventive and expressive poem.
