Resurrected Flower.

Goldfinch60



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.

        Beautiful metaphor of what love will do to a person. If you are loved, you will bloom.
