Life is like a beautiful flower <br />Each day as unique <br />As each petal of each. <br /> <br />The stem ever lengthening <br />In a strenuous effort to reach the nurturing rays of the sun. <br /> <br />The roots ever deepening <br />To draw life from the earth. <br /> <br />The swaying fields ever entrancing <br />To the watchful eyes of youth. <br /> <br />Looking out over a field of wildflowers- <br />Each one an individual blossom <br />Slowly opening, revelaing to the world <br />It's true beauty <br /> <br />Petal by petal. <br />Step by step. <br /> <br />Each flower resembling its species <br />But, in truth, a rare individual. <br /> <br />No two are exactly alike <br />Some have thorns <br />Or rough edges <br />Others are spicy <br />Or sweet. <br /> <br />How hard it is to chose just one <br />To put a smile on your face. <br />One whos individuality touches your heart <br />And warms your soul <br /> <br />And stands out <br />In a field of flowers<br /><br />Gabe Florsheim<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/field-of-flowers-3/
