A little flower

A little flower

Everyone
needs a little flower their own.
Everyone
needs some blessing unknown.

My flower
grows a leaf, a petal, a rose;
with its
blooms and its buds, it will live through my woes.

My blessing will
make the rain cease, make the sun shine
In my eyes
make the clouds part for a beautiful sign.

Though everyday
more weeds and bugs show,
Everyday
my flower will grow.

And when it
has blossomed into something great,
I’ll let it
fall off, sit back and wait.

I'll wait for
more flowers to blossom and grow,
Because everyone
needs a little flower their own.
