WE'RE ALL A FLOWER

We were all engendered to start the day.

From a trickle of light, by a sense of sight.

We start our age like a flower.

From seed, to fully bloomed and grown.

As our years of age increase 

our stem will grow.

Each step we take and challenge we face.

Will grow a leaf on our stem.

As years pass, our goals will grow.

And as we reach those goals, 

a petal will bloom in it's place.

And as we reach our age. 

We tend to forget those things.

As we forget they drop to the floor.

where the violin will blow them to the ends of skies and seas.

Till all are gone and we are long at rest

the poet
