I held a flower in my hand,
Its colors were alive and grand.
I decide to crush out its worth,
And give unto it a new birth.
The flower is mangled in death,
It has no beauty and no breath.
If I could bring back the hour,
I'd not dishonor the flower.

Thank you, Karen. Hindsight is wonderful isn't it? Would that we could utilize it sooner rather than later. Thanks for the nice comment.
