Undernourished Flower

Undernourished Flower Like a summer rain, You came to me. Soothing and warm, Refreshingly free. Like an undernourished flower, I soaked you up. Quickly drinking, From your watering cup. But fall soon came, And the cold winds blew. And by a December day, Our lives were through. I hibernated, In the ground below. Underneath, The mounting snow. And waited for, The First of May To place my fears, Far away. I raised my head, Above the ground. And grew and bloomed, Strong and sound. I flourish in, This new found place, And placed a smile, Upon my face.
