The Rain Falls So The Roses May Grow

   Too much sun will kill a rose.

   Too much rain will kill a rose.

   A rose needs a balance of sun and rain to grow.

   A rose needs a balance of sun and rain to flourish.

   I love it when the sun shines down and lights my life.

   I curse the rain when it falls and brings tears in my life.

   After the rain, I feel stronger.

   The rain may bring the winds.

   But the winds will not break me.

   I will learn to bend.

   I will learn to grow.

Wilting Daisy

I don't want to be a wilting daisy anymore.

I don't want to just disappear.

I want to be a flourishing lily.

I want to bloom and grow.

I want to leave my mark on this earth.

I want to do what I was put here to do.

A flower wonders if...

• The dark sky means a storm is coming... and will its roots be strong enough against the strong winds a storm will bring?
  
• 
  
• It should have grown along the left side of the garden, instead of to the right?
  
• 
  
• The sun that has gone away, that nourishes it, will kill it with its intensity?
  
• 
  
• The wind that caught its seeds will send them to a good place where they will grow well?
  
• 
  
• When the time comes for it to go, will anyone remember it with a smile?
• 
  
• The girl sitting in the garden, looking up at the moon,  knows just how much she truly loves the boy?
  
• 
  
• The boy, whom the girl is wishing for, knows that each time he goes away, the girl gets so scared she might not see him again?
  
• 
  
• The moon will pass on the girl's wishes to the boy?
  

   I heart pink roses.
