The Flower and The Tree
Flower.
Delicate,
Sweet,
Soft.
One of many in the fields.
The wind cannot take you away,
No matter how strong it pushes.
You want to give up,
To let go,
But you can't.
People want you to,
But you can't.
People need you.
They need your guidance,
Your love when others dont give it,
Your strength,
Even your youth.
We need you.
Don't give up.
Please,
Don't let the wind take you away,
Don't hide from it,
Stand up against it.
You are STRONGER!
BIGGER!
LOUDER!
Tree.
Stronger,
Taller,
Beautiful.
You have won.
You didn't give up,
You didn't hide.
You have helped us,
Saved us even.
Though we don't tell you,
Gave you out thanks,
Or if you don't see it.
You have,
And we will allways be grateful,
Even if we don't know it ourselves.
To some,
You are a mentor,
A director,
A leader,
A light on our dark paths,
A friend.
Thank You.
