The Flower

Poking up from the ground,

Nature's beautiful creation.

Small green bud, blossomed into a brightly colored floral burst.

Dew sparkling on the petals,

And running in a trickle down the stem.

Inside the flower,

Such complexity, such intricacy.

A whole system, built with care,

Makes up this outdoor beauty.

Flowers can inspire works of art.

It can inspire a whole story.

Or it can be there just to brighten someone's day.

It does so much for us.

So why don't we stop to appreciate it?
