The Flower

The Flower

 

There standing in the sun’s love

is a flower both delicate and beautiful.

In the beginning, out of the life giving stem,

a tiny bud, slowly, almost shyly emerge’s.

 

It continue’s to grow stronger each day.

Through the bright sunlight,

the fierce and mighty storm’s,

and through the darkest of night’s.

Striving to reach its final goal.

 

In the dry times when all seems hopeless

and the flower bud would surely be lost,

the sweet rains come and together with

the sun’s power the tiny bud remains strong.

 

And in the fullness of time,

the bud opens up and shows forth

all it’s beauty and splendor

as a colorful adornment from God’s palette

filling the air with it’s sweet aroma.

Oh Mickey, this is what I want to see more of from you. This is positively dripping with soul and love and makes a person want to cry from the beauty of your words, that ring out "I'm ready to take on life" and just go with it

"And in the fullness of time,
the bud opens up and shows forth
all it’s beauty and splendor
as a colorful adornment from God’s palette
filling the air with it’s sweet aroma"

In my opinion this is the best you've ever written. Your words ae so true
