Ballad of the Flower

There was a flower longing to be adored.
A living testament to love and life and so much more
Like the morning sun unaffected by the night
Each day she woke and graced the world with her humble light
She stood strong against the flood
Grounded deep and strong in the mud
Clouds and sunshine came and passed
This little flower struggled to last
Her petals so beautiful and bright
Gleamed in even the sun's last light
All through the night the flower on guard
This little beauty never would've guessed a flower's life could be so hard
Come morning and on the ground frost lay
The flower stood strong to welcome another day
