Words of Wisdom Contest
Blossom of fruit trees
strewn around the orchard
subtle hues of pink and white
shot through with purple
Seeing it reminds me that
like the fruit trees so do
each of us in our own way
blossom as we pass through
Blossom starts as a tiny bud
then through the months
opens up flooding the world
with vibrant scent and colour
Just like that tender bud
we open our minds to the new
and flower for all to see
staying true to ourselves
So when you see the blossom
keep in your mind the thought
for you to flourish and bloom
you must live and strive for fruition
Live each day as if your last
spend no time in past regrets
move on and keep climbing ladders
stretch up and reach for the stars
Do not squander your time here
march boldly on into the future
let not adversity hold you back
laugh in it's face as you pass
Many times you may be tempted
to sit back and take it easy
sloth only grows in strength
so easy to put things off
Tomorrow never comes, so onward
battle now with all your might
remember as you live your life
each new day is adventure waiting
I went with the Creative Process and referred to blossoms as they for fill their life
