A wild flower refuse to close her eyes, <br />For budding has denied her the beauty; <br />Of the open fields, <br />The vast mountains, <br />The caress of the winds, <br />The sight of the flirty butterflies, <br />And the courting bees. <br />The wild flower knows <br />That sleep is no prey, <br />For the precious moments, <br />Spent entertaining sleep, <br />Tricking her to keeping him company. <br />But in blooms she swears to see it all, and miss it not.<br /><br />Nontobeko Dlamini<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wild-flower-2/
