Bouquet
November 12, 2010
I was given a bouqet of flowers,
how beautiful they were
all tucked in tight and neatly,
grown with love for sure.
I put them by the window
to let their beauty shine
they looked so quiet there,
so humble, so kind.
But days went by and by,
and as I watched them grow
they started to turn and wilt,
and I had never felt so much guilt.
For these flowers were deprived
of my tender care and love,
and so they continued to hide
from their true colors above.
