Just Another Flower ( A dedication to Thomas Becker)
Just another flower dancing in the wind,
enjoying the break in the weather.
Friends gathering to celebrate summer getting closer.
Just another flower dancing in the wind,
living out his Maryland pride.
Hanging with his boys, planning the next time they would be together.
Just another weekend, starting the way it always does.
Phones ringing off the walls, buddies calling to find a spot.
No one would have expected the next scene.
Just another acciddent, or so we thought.
Avoiding the traffic, and taking a safe way home.
Never guessing that our flower had withered away.
Just another flower dancing to peace,
calmly looking over us, guarding our lives.
Sun, warmth, friends and family,
this flower wouldn't want it anyother way.
Just our flower dancing in the wind,
enjoying the break in the weather.
