Flowers

There are many types of flowers

that live in the same garden;

they grow in the same soil. All flowers

need the same things to stay alive

and thrive. They need to be

watered, given sunlight, attention,

space, and nourishment.

These are their basic needs that need

to met. They need these to develop:

to succeed. When we plant seeds,

we must try to understand that

it is our responsibility to love

and care for them. If we ignore them,

they will wither away. Their petals

will fall off, and they will perish.

If we want our flowers to prosper,

we must be mindful, as they face

every stage of life. When they bloom,

they reveal their beauty and elegance.

Their development is a direct result

of the care we provided. We reap

what we sow. Even in the harshest

of weather, we protect them. If they

start dying, we don’t think twice

to bring them back to life.

When roses, sunflowers,

daisies, orchids, tulips, lilies,

or marigolds flourish beside

each other, their vibrant colors,

and unique features attract

a diverse community of insects,

bugs, and distinct garden dwellers.

They all come together and rely

on each other to survive. Each flower

leans on the next. When there is

an arrangement of blooming buds,

we know the garden is filled with love.

Each flower is special in their own

way. They provide distinguished

diversity that will outlast all of eternity.

In life, being different is a gift

that we share with the world.

We all grow in the same

soil: planted in the same garden;

it’s where our life began. Much ike flowers

placed closely together,

humans roam the same land wanting

to reach the same goal: to be loved

and cared for. Nothing less. Nothing more.
