This I wrote for a friend of mine
whom I have come to care a great
deal for and cherish our relationship,


Ever Blooming Flower


Magnificent flower
born in unstable earth,
yet continually striving
towards a solid foundation.

Your petals glisten
in suns rays
and in moons glow
fragrance emanates sweeten delight.

All your seasons have produced
stormy weather,
but your life force prevails
with much vim and vigor.

“Oh” how your dreams of one day
to stand tall among the thistles
and have no thorn
pierce your beauty!

Contemplation runs its course
continually taunting,
yet always in the forefront
your thoughts in which way shall you step.

You do not know it,
but you are an ever blooming flower,
a gem in a world
taking you for granted.

Your roots will find solid ground
your days shall be blessed,
never give up your wants and desires
there will be grand reward.

In this time of struggle know
you are loved,
your presence is wanted,
needed and cherished.

Just bloom on in fragrant delight
knowing life shall come full circle
and you shall radiate
in the splendor of your dreams.


By, Cerenity

Very beautiful and caring poem. The cares of the day and lifetime problems can hold us back, but we must move forward. there is a reward if only in knowing that we tried. And who knows, through the grace of God we may succeed.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

What better way to show true emotions than to characterize a loved on in metaphore. Lovely write.
