Chapter 228

Flower

The stock was bent
The leaves tattered
The color was faded
The roots were scattered

Contained within this ravished mass
Is life that no longer need cower
With a beauty few can see
Is a sweet amazing lovely flower

With nourishment and feeding
The flower grew stronger
The leaves expanded
The stock grew longer

The flower was beautiful
The colors bold and bright
Those who should cherish it
Gave pain anguish and slight

The flower began to wilt
Poisons were induced things swayed
No one, cared as the sweet flower
Was about to be slayed

Help and hope arrived
Attempting to extinguish everything terrible
Providing the vital nutrients
Placing the flower upon a pedestal

Keeping away insects and pests
Giving pure fresh water and warm sun
Now all may rejoice this pretty flower
Its luscious growth has once again begun

Nobody
