That One Flower

by Diamond J - Scorpio

That One Flower

Through the twisted turns of life
a small flower emerges
up, & up ready to face whatever is there
not knowing the cruelity, rudeness or hate
it still is born, born innocent and free!

What is happening in our little world?
so full of hatred, yet born so innocent
we may never know the purity of one lil flower
if we do not stop to take in it's beauty
one lil petal, on one lil stem waiting to just shine.

The vastness and diversity it stumbles upon is shocking
hoping only to make people smile, yet no one even stops
all that patience and shining is it really worth it?
Maybe to just stand out and out shine all others
only to be noticed by NO ONE.

The effort and glory soon to be destroyed
not by violence but by ignorance
Don't let the little things go by unnoticed
that one little flower could have made you shine
but it now lays wilted and cold.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this for all the hatred and ignorance in our world today, it's not very often we noticed the little things, until it is to late!
