A beautiful vase
Of coloured glass,adorned with
Intricate golden carving
Crevices studded with precious stones
Created a rainbow whence sunlight shone
The vase was a sight ,beautiful to the passers by
The flowers it held were unique
Tulips in shades of red surrounding,
lilies white ,lilies yellow
A circle of roses pink,green and white
Baby’s breath scattered amidsts the gorgeous bunch
Dew drops sparkled still on the petals
What a sight for sore eyes!
And then one day as luck would have it
When two young boys were frolicking
The vase slipped shattered to a million pieces
The gems scattered to the ground
As did the flowers and one by one lost colour and petal
It was once a beautiful vase
Beautiful both inside and out
