A flower’s sown to fate unknown To world that’s tough and strong From seed to then a flower grown In a crowd of many known Surviving to belong It finds its roots and holds its ground As nature plays the day Seeing changes all around Friends and many changes found And things that seem to stay But then there comes the season spring The sunshine, rain; the breeze of song When colours of the flower sing When beauty to the eye does bring And life it comes along The ground it moves and gives some space While bees they tease delight Beauty to the air does lace Time takes on a different pace And all around is right The flower then if feels alive For springtime shows the dream and need So thankful then to just survive That new days still do all arrive That nature dropped the seed That is we, so much the same Planted here to play our part Finding life a complex game Finding so much we can blame And crying from the heart But then as spring it does arrive We wake to smell the rose Go from living to alive Finding pleasure to survive The timing, no one knows Feeling free and out of norm Alive and living happy days So happy each day to perform Seeing sunshine through the storm And changing bedded ways For life was not made just to live But find a path and skip each day To share a passion you can give Finding more you can forgive And more you want to play |

For life was not made just to live But find a path and skip each day To share a passion you can give Finding more you can forgive And more you want to play love the truth in this ending, Rick  M |
