“PRETTIEST FLOWERS”

I SEE THEM ALL DAY LONG,

WAIVING IN THE WIND BACK AND FORTH,

SOME ARE ALWAYS PICKED UPON,

SOME ARE PICKED UP AND BROUGHT CLOSER FOR THEIR SCENT IS DREAMT OF ALL DAY LONG,

SOME DON’T GET PICKED AND CAN POSSIBLY FEEL WITHDRAWN,

THEY WAIVE AND LIVE FREE UNTIL THE SUN IS GONE,

THEN THEY FEEL THE NEED TO BE HELD AND KEPT CLOSE AND WARM,

TILL THE MORNING WHEN THE SUN COMES BACK OUT AND THEY FEEL REBORN,

ALAS THE FEELINGS DO NOT LAST,

WITHERING AWAY AND TOSSED ABOUT IN OPEN FIELDS OF GRASS,

FOR A SHORT TIME THEY LIVE AND IN TIME THEY DO PASS,

THEIR SEEDS FALL AND ARE SOAKED  INTO THE EARTH WHEN IT RAINS AND DEEP GROWTH BEGINS VERY FAST,

THE BURNING DESIRES TO BECOME OLD ENOUGH,

WEARING SHORTER DRESSES AND MOMMY’S MAKEUP,

THEIR VIRGINITY IS TAKEN SOMETIMES GIVEN TO SOMEONE NOT UNWORTHY OF TRUST,

LESSONS LEARNED BY FLOWERS THAT EVEN BEES CAN HURT WITH THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH,

NOW THE WIND BLOWS AND THE DAY SEEMS ROUGH,

A LOVE HATE AFFAIR THAT MAKES MANY TURN IN DISGUST,

IT’S OK BECAUSE THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND US,

THE DESIRE, THE AMBITION, THE LOVE IS REAL IT IS NOT LUST,

TO PROVE THEM ALL A CERTAINTY I MUST,

AND AS THE LIFE CYCLE PROGRESSES EACH PEDDLE ONCE GLORIFIED IS LOST OR PLUCKED,

TO REMAIN SO RELEVANT IN A WORLD FOREVER FAST CHANGING I CAN’T KEEP UP,

I CAN ONLY HOPE YOU ARE GUIDED RIGHT – PRAY AND DON’T WISH FOR LUCK,

YOU’VE SURVIVED MANY STORMY DAYS AND STORMY NIGHTS,

THE PRETTIEST FLOWERS ARE SOMETIMES THE STRONGEST ONES THAT FIGHT,

YOU HAVE THE POWER, THE BEAUTY, AND THE MIGHT,

ALWAYS BE THE BRIGHTEST COLOR AND BLOOM AT YOUR PACE FOR THE DURATION OF YOUR LIFE.
