THE FLOWER IN NEED

Here was a flower that blossoms in years 5 times ten

However, in these five tens plus two she has given so much

No blossoms could she make new

She needed the warmth and the touch from the sun  

And she wanted this so badly never did she ask from where it was from

So one single ray came from that light in the sky

He has committed his self to bring back all the warmth to her life

But he is just light and her pain is so real will this be enough for that flower to live

 

She hopes even as she plays that the rain can hide

The sour bitter tears every times she cries

She pulls it together and ties it up with a smile

But she is pulled in so many directions

This when she start the cry of a child

 

That single ray is committed when he tries 

To let his warmth dry up every tear that this flower cries

This is why his rays are like the sun

He hopes to light her way so stronger she will become

This is a lovely piece of writing, full of feelings and a little sorrow, just a little tidy in its flow and it will shine, Yours Ian.T
