Flower

You’re so small You grow every day Inch by inch So skinny and long You start to bloom Pedal by pedal You’re so bright and secure Peacefully you stand Making the world so colorful Child after child Smells your radiance from a mile away So intrigued by the smell Step by step A child appears Pluck You are now detached from your bed Day by day You wilt, hanging your head Pedal by pedal Falls to the ground Your life was so precious But now you’re in the past You’ll live again In a time or two.
