A Beautiful Flower

by Bud Lemire on Oct 11, 2007

A beautiful flower, who has withstood the storm
A loving and caring soul, who's love is so warm
Tattered and uprooted, you still remain strong
Your endurance in bad weather, has been too long

While many pick at your petals, your roots have grown
Ignored by the many, that you have known
The sun came to warm you, the rain gave you a drink
Mother Nature gave you love, and the freedom to think

Many didn't think this flower would survive
But you should see her today, she is alive
Sparkling with beauty, and stronger than ever
She doesn't believe in words such as "never"

She says it's not easy being a flower
But God has given her, a wonderful power
The beauty within, is not the beauty you see
When you look at a flower, it's beauty naturally

Look it over real close, see what's really there
So many ignore the beauty, or really don't care
For you see this flower, had to put up a fight
And her beauty today, gives off an Angelic light
