A flower so grand
in itself, vivid in
details, following no pattern
like the leaves of the plant.
All the leaves are the same
but a single flower so distinct
one does and the other doesn't
add to the plant's fame.
In its life of just a day, it steals the show
and spreads so much happiness
though the leaves may, in silence keep low,
diligently work for air's cleanliness.
Even then it sticks to the branch
as its life is given by
the apparently dreary plant.
Here, all its coming generations
will choose to be born,
and this plant only will they adorn.
We may be so much accomplished and successful in our life but we should not undermine the value of our roots, things which have helped us to reach where we are now.
