BEAUTIFUL FLOWER

by Lee Parker


_______________


                                                       The door opens
                                                       She shines through the rain
                                                       Like a rainbow in the cloudiest of skies
                                                       The falling rain leaves her to bloom
                                                       Like a flower in front of me
                                                       The thought of picking a flower of this kind
                                                       Should not be
                                                       If you pick the flower for yourself
                                                       It is destined to die
                                                       You can only keep it for so long
                                                       You do have the power to protect such a flower
                                                       Provide the flower with the love it may need
                                                       Help protect it from the weeds of the world
                                                       You must also give the flower room to grow
                                                       And never block out the sun that shines on it's beauty
                                                       Love & comfort her when she wilts
                                                       Give her a reason to bloom each season of love
                                                       She is this flower before me
