A flower
Does it not bloom from a seed?
With the sun and rain
It grows from a soil
A soil abundant with minerals
In richness
Does it not grow into a beautiful strong flower?
Does it not give scent for all who wishes to smell?
Does it not give beauty to all that can feel?
Does it not give joy to those who can see?
Then smell blows in the wind and blesses all
When it withers and dies
It goes back to earth
But what a beautiful flower it was
