Wild flower growing by the highway, <br />so beautiful and fair you are! <br />Dressed in the prettiest hue of blue, <br />you dazzled me with flare <br />at your beauty, i can not help but stare. <br /> <br />Pretty wild flower! <br />The sun is setting, the day is drawing <br />what you have left of life is but one hour, <br />if by chance i did not past in time, <br />if i had not headed to another place, <br />i would have missed your glorious face. <br /> <br />You only live for a day, and <br />you are not a match for a rose <br />you don't go under anybodies nose, <br />you don't enter competitions <br />with your single raw of petals, <br />you wouldn't win any medals. <br /> <br />But you brighten up the day of travelers, <br />standing bravely by the highway.<br /><br />Milica Franchi De Luri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wild-flower-5/
