The Flower

It began after an unforgettable summer

Oblivious to my surroundings except the color green

Building a future that’s not made out of lumber

Countless blessings never before seen

Having this belief that I was complete.

An overwhelming feeling of content

Head always elevated high

Everywhere I went

A forecast with no clouds but a clear sky

Even the sun admired my shine

Unexpectedly, I came across a flower

Crimson and vibrant under the shadow of a tree

Possessing an aura frightening with power

I was hesitant to approach it carefree

However, curiosity moved me

Standing face to face

I acknowledged the beauty and radiance of the flower

Questioning its purpose in a dark place

Instinctively, I scooped it up before the rain shower

Hoping to bring out its full potential

Now it is my will to share the light in my vision

To help it grow

To see its best through any condition

To make sure darkness doesn’t dim its glow

Enchanting it with love.
