Flowers

We are all like flowers -

Even in our birth.

Like a seed

planted

in the ground

yet swaddled with such mirth.

And when we grow

you surely know

that we all must be watered.

With love and grace,

strength and faith

all so wonderfully cottered.

So let us flourish

always nourished

like daylilies

in the sun.

As we must not forget

lest we come to regret

Any time that we have wasted

On Earth, meandering

slandering, pandering

void of a care in the world.

Life is shorter

Than we'd like to think

So let's be aware of the hours -

Sun can turn into showers

ever quickly

And we must try, not cower

Our time's like a race

The time ticking

down

Like beaming rays

of the sun

We'll run, run,

run and run,

Hebrews twelve

verse one.

Yes, we are all like flowers

changing through the seasons

Birthed, growing

always knowing

We're here

for so many reasons.
