a little daisy under his feet

by Chritty - Aries

A little daisy stands alone in the middle of a crowded street
Her precious life threaten by each set of feet.
feet that are in a hurry to get to work
without the realization of how much they hurt
the weak little flower that is trying so hard to grow strong
each day she smiles happily at the sun
that warms her blossoming petals
the weak little flower
she looks up at the people hoping that they will take the time to stop and admire her beauty
that won't be around for much longer
she wants to believe that it is her duty
to satisify passer bys
that the smallest thing could bring so much joy
but everyday they walk past her
without taking a second glance
sadness falls over her and every few days a petal falls off and blows away in the wind
the rain falls and her leaves dance
in slow motion
she closes her eyes and let the rain falls gently on her stem
taking each drop of rain water as a blessing
If only the people would take  the  time to stare at a beautiful little flower
that is trying so desperatly to fit in
adjusting to her surrondings willing
to grow in this big scary city
they would realize their was no need for pity
we all have a purpose and thats for us to find
no need to rush or hurry just take your time
and enjoy life
surrounded by smog and feet
she only wanted the strength
to rise above all the others
to break free of the concrete
and to make it on her own
to prove that she could make it anywhere
but her will to go on was no longer there
so she gave up and began to wilt
the life that she had tried so hard to build
in the cracked concrete was useless
she needed real dirt and love
to blossom
one day a little boy crouched down next to a pile of little daisy petals
that lie crumpled up
he said look mommy the flower it died
she took his hand and said poor dear tried
so hard to grow in concrete and sunshine
he gathered the petals in his little hands
and  blew them into the wind
he watched happily as the little flower returned home
up to the heavens where she was grown
by the angels who sent her here to see if she could change the life of just one person that she would
meet. 
she did the little boy who stopped to look at the little daisy that grew  on the street
