lily is a wildflower. <br />she is hearty and strong <br />she blossoms in both peace and adversity <br />in manicured gardens and abused roadsides. <br />she is tall, towering over the daisies and roses that some pursue. <br />she is not small and delicate <br />but broad and strong, <br />and can withstand harsh winds and resist plucking. <br />she is not the common pinks or whites of other saught after blooms <br />but is red as blood, yellow as the sun, or a flaming orange. <br />she grows under her own terms, satisfied with her existence in creation, and worries for nothing.<br /><br />Lily Faust<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lily-5/
