If I could choose a single gift <br />to give to all mankind <br />I’d walk calmly to the backyard garden <br />where against the fence I’d find <br />a single flower, that grew <br />and bloomed in the spring <br />to wave in gentle breezes <br />and through it’s silence sing <br />the praises of the pure virtue, Love <br />and assure all men that there is good. <br /> <br /> <br />Mary Havran <br /> <br />(Written when poet was twelve years old) <br /> <br />A note to the reader: I have recently spent some time revisiting my earliest poetic efforts and upon reflection have decided to post some on this site. Poems whose titles are prefixed with the designation “zPt” are poems written during my preteen years. I hope you find them interesting.<br /><br />Mary Havran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zpt-5-a-single-flower-repost/
