Fleur de Sydney

Unique unto itself

Reposed upon Mother Earth

A seed awaits the life giving rain

A drop, it too, unique

Tumbles from the sky

Lands upon the seed

Now secured within Mother Earth's womb

Germination begins

The maternal warmth of the soil

Caressing, rhythmic breezes

Nourishing rainfall

Lift the seed

Upward towards the light

Crowning, breaking the protective soil

This seed

Has become a flower which will soon blossom

This flower

Grows taller

Stronger

And more beautiful each day

Basking in the warmth of the sun

Loving the sunny days

Yet strong enough to stand the rain

And even the most devastating storms

This flower begins to bloom

Radiating a heavenly glow

A glow that touches all who see

Her petals, tender and beautiful

Yet strong and resilient

Give strength to the other flowers

Enriching and strengthening this earthly flower bed

We know, as Planet Earth

Notes: I am just so proud of my daughter for how she carries herself, how hard she works, her enthusiasm and talents, but most importantly for the impact she has had on me. Being a father, dad, is the greatest role in the world, and having such a beautiful person as my daughter only amplifies that feeling. Aside from these traits, I am most impressed with how she truly cares for Mother Earth and the life upon it. How she reaches out, wanting to give love to others and help them be beautiful too. Inspired today when I saw a fleur de louis....I came up with this. These are my first words to screen in awhile...so, my Fleur de Sydney...thank U 4 being The Most Beautiful Girl in The World and my Fleur de la vie....I love U!
