Words From a Flower

There once was a delicate flower. That lived in a beautiful garden. Her beauty stood out among the rest. She loved and trusted everyone. But one day she had a life altering experience. A mean and nasty gardener had his eye on her. He watched her from afar. And one day when no one was looking he took advantage of her. It crushed her from the inside out. From that day on, she was very careful of who she gave her love and trust to. Alexis Y 2-13-16

Very good piece. A good gardener would never allow this kind of treatment to his/her flowers.. My garden is where I found peace and happiness.. Keep up the good work!!!

Sad story for I am a gardener and love all my flowers and I will never think to be mean to one of them. Now if a gardener did this, was not a real gardener but pretended only to be a gardener just to cut the beautiful flower. We have to be very careful with the ...gardeners we choose, dear Alexis. Wonderful poem with a lovely message! A seven!
