Like a flower #WednesdayVerses

Like a flower,
Which grew each day,
From a bud,
Blooming where it was planted,
Can I choose to grow each day?
Spreading the fragrance of joy,
Bringing a smile on people’s faces,
Adding a splash of colour to mundane things,
Like a flower,
Can I add beauty to the lives of people around?
Swaying gently in the wind,
Not worrying about things that aren’t worth,
Keeping my head held high,
Can I choose to rise above the dirt,
That brings me down?
Like a flower preserved,
Between the pages of a book,
Delicate, but carrying along,
A whiff of nostalgia,
Can I bring back memories?

I miss these Wednesday Verses. Such a beautiful poetry Reema. They live a day but make it all worth it.
Thank you so much. I have been trying to be regular with Wednesday Verses but sometimes life seems to be getting in the way.
Lovely rendition, Reema. Lyrical and a balm to the soul.
