Blooming flower, tree, bush, shrub

when you realize you started from a seed.

a seed that was nurtured to grow.

grow up to be the prettiest

flower

tree

bush

shrub

then you will realize the trueness of being alive

 

you may have gotten stepped on

you may have gotten dirt kicked up in your eyes

but you became a shining flower

tree

bush

shrub.

you can do whatever you want.

but remember the reason you got dirt kicked on you?

because you were watching kids play in the back yard.

remember why you were picked?

a baby saw you for the first time.

 

Bad times turn into good memories

you wish you had back.

savor every opportunity.

never let it die like the flower

tree

bush

shrub
