Like a beautiful flower
She grew more beautiful each day,
She reached maturity and glowed,
Her life so full of the joys of life.
One day she stopped maturing,
Her flower was beginning to wilt
Back into the ground.
A weed was growing near her,
Entwined itself around her.
The goodness was taken from her,
Her beauty was fading
As her life started to fail.
The gardener approached her,
Saw the plight she was in
And he took that weed away,
Fed her with love and tenderness.
Once more she grew stronger
And her beauty emerged once more,
Never to be dulled again.
