Poetry Sunday ~ I Am

Ps. 51: 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

***

I Am…

I am but a flower dancing in the sun
protected by light since my life begun.

I am but a flower blowing in the warm breeze

safely sheltered by the low hanging trees.

I am but a flower with a purpose in life

I grow and learn through trials and strife.

I am but a flower planted firmly in soil

too much water and my roots will spoil.

I am but a flower please understand;

my duty in life is to beautify land.

I can not be plucked and placed where one needs

I have to grow to nurture my seeds.

I’m am but a flower reaching up to the sky

some days I wilt and never know why.

I need some nourishment to replenish my soul

to make this flower feel beautifully whole.

I am but a flower rained on from above

given to life by my mother’s true love.

Although as I grow I have high ambition,

Remember this rose has a sweet smelling mission.
