The Blooming Flower
The early spring 
 Captures the sunlight,
 Allowing nature
 To do its' magic.
 The small bud,
 Green as it is,
 Stays closed,
 Waiting for the right moment
 To sprout open
 And begin life.
 
 The cold winds fade
 And the Sun
 Shines brightly
 upon the little bud.
 Now, the time is here. 
 The bud slowly bursts open,
 Creating rays of sunshine.
 A rainbow of colors
 Appear on the bud.
 
 Nature's beauty
 Is now shown to the world.
 The bud stands out,
 Straight and tall,
 Showing off to the world
 Its' true perfection.
 Jealous flowers Surround the bud,
 Wanting with all of their heart
 To be like him.
 
 A ring of sunlight
 Appears around the blossomed flower,
 Allowing it to have its' moment.
 
 Praying to God
 For this miracle,
 The little flower
 Dances in the breeze. 
 Birds sing a song
 Of wonderous melody,
 Praising the little flower.
 
 The sun shines brightly,
 All day,
 Every day,
 Forever and ever,
 No matter what,
 It shines for the little flower.
