Flower Of Compassion

Against the wind, you stand your ground

sweetly scented you abound

within the breeze you gently sway

blending softly a summers day

within the cold, you still embrace

the sting of life upon your face

the ruffled wind that drives the sea

Soothes you safe, soothes you free

from driven hands of hurt and harm

in death you fall, in life you charm

Flower of Compassion your story sounds

your silent beauty upon me found

Authors note

"In life, we are reminded everyday of the simple things in life, the tolerance to air and sun flowers harden their lives to.  Resiliant and original the flower of compassion shows that no matter what elements may come its way its beauty still captures the gaze of many"
