How a Flower Lives Fully
Flowers in a glass vase,
Sitting on my desk
I bought them fresh,
Alive
Those flowers
give me smiles
They bring my heart from aching
to happiness,
In a flash
If only a flower could live
As long as I needed that beauty,
Just one more day.
Maybe one more minute would help
This morning
I woke to wilted blooms
And even then
I smiled
At a life well lived
My heart went from aching
to thank you,
In a flash
