The Flower

There is a flower that sits outside my window.

Its delicate stem waltzes in the breeze

And its petals gleam in photogenic bliss.

And I sit here and stare, at the flower out there-

And cry, as life passes me by. 

I wish I were as pretty,

that people would crave my beauty so much

As to end my life to get a better view. 

I wish the Earth would let me grow so-

Innocently.

Gina…that flower will fade outwardly and inwardly.  However, the beauty that you are right now is obvious for all to see…your inward beauty is eternal and ever flowering, blossoming from you heart and your mind.  Life is speaking to you directly as you view that flower…the earth is speaking to you as you view that flower.  You are actually looking at your own reflection!
