Wild Flowers

Wild Flowers

We are just like wildflowers 
Growing by the thorns
We are just like wildflowers
No one to call our own.

The dewdrops wet our faces
And the sunshine dries our souls
We cant go distant places 
And see the world in whole.

Our beauty magnifies us
In the eyes of all who pass
But we are just some wildflowers
So we're left upon the grass.

No kiss to warm soft petals
No heart to fill with joy
We are just some wildflowers 
Who brighten up the soil.

We always thank our Maker though
For being humble and not vain
Wildflowers leastwise unlike thorns 
Cant cause a life of pain.

I really like the rythm and flow of this poem. The images go beyond the words to bring so much color to my mind. Nice work.
