Flowers

I gave you daisies in the morning light

You crushed them underfoot last night

Roses wilt in your careless hands

A garden blooms but never stands

Flowers grow

Flowers fall

You don't notice them at all

Petals drop

The colors fade

But I’m still here

Unafraid

Sunflowers turned to face your glow

You walked away

They bent so low

Lilies whispered secrets in the breeze

But you drowned them out with your mysteries

Flowers grow

Flowers fall

You don't notice them at all

Petals drop

The colors fade

But I’m still here

Unafraid

I’ll be the wildflower in the cracks

The one that blooms where life fights back

No vase no garden no careful plan

Just roots that stretch where they can

Flowers grow

Flowers fall

You don't notice them at all

Petals drop

The colors fade

But I’m still here

Unafraid
