She was barely visible to the eye
Growing on the barren tree…a tiny
bud
Protected tightly in green layers….a
sign of new life.
She was nurtured by the love of two
First loves of her life…ones who knew
her best
Rain and sun…father and
mother…sustenance of life.
She burst forth into a blossom
Discovering another love…her mate
Wind and air…husband and
lover…breath of life.
She unfolded her petals to give
birth
Loving unconditionally the new
little bud
Sunshine…a child…blossoming from
her love of life.
She spread her leaves beyond the
grove
Forming friendships of sisterhood
Wrapped with the sun’s
warmth…enhancing her life.
She lost her blooms…they fell to
the soil
Scattering her love across the garden
By the wind…nurturing other young
buds…full of life.
She disappeared from sight
Trailing after her a colorful aura
Beautiful flowers that had been
touched by her life.
