Fragrant Flower
There're fragrant flowers in full bloom
With colors radiant, vibrant, bright!
Pure joy exuding while you groom
Your first glimpse captures eyes filled with light
Finding delight in the wondrous, mysterious gift!
And though given for only a while, still, is alright
So dreams are built never imagining the rifts
As you nurture, guard and lead along the way
Help fulfill a purpose –others to uplift
Gentle pruning with care so they do not stray
Validate worth through kindness and care
For certain, one day petals will fall into disarray
And too soon, the sun will set and awaken fear
A time when the dreams lie forever silent; broken
Rest assure, beautiful spirits live forever, near
Alive in roots, like fine lace woven
The legacy of love leaves an unending trail
Yet, nailed in a place secure and proven
At home in your soul where it cannot be derailed
