So beautiful glistening from the morning dew,
In full bloom for all to view.
Her sole purpose; to give pleasure to all.
Though blown and tossed about, She still stands tall.
Taking in only enough to survive
Yet meaning so much to others lives.
As some enjoy her beauty, others feed from her delicious fruits
providing all with a firm foundation, spreading her strong roots.
When dealing with lifes hardships, finding it hard to cope,
She is always there to provide a little hope.
Though torn and tattered-
from her beauty and seeds, that the winds once scattered,
Blossoms a whole new bunch of flowers
carrying with them pieces of her and maturing by the hour.
