To a flower

You're yellow, you're blue,

You're old, you're new,

You're scared, you're bold,

You're always warm, never cold

You're beautiful but there are lines,

Hiding scars, of those times,

When you battled the Sun and the rain,

When your kin were plucked, caused you pain

But you smile, coz its a new day

And you have learned to make hay

As the morning breeze caresses you gently

You sway, mesmerizing, so deftly

Like music playing from the past

You remind me of a time long lost

When i used to be just like you,

Free, happy and fresh as dew

You're soft, you're so tender

Smile honey, coz we're not here forever,

Smile coz this is all the time we have,

Smile coz this is the only time we have
