It started as a seed A drop of water it sprouts Roots grips clumps of dirt Growing little by little Just a leaf Then a stem A bud appears Slowly opens A flower! So crisp and sweet Whiter then a cloud A single drop A ruby drop So bright and yet so dark it drips from petal to petal leaving a trail dying each petal as it goes another drop then another' soon its hole world is covered In a Crimson stain
