Such a simple flower
Yet she hides such strength
She knows she's not as beautiful as the others
She knows her scent can't compare
But she is strong and will always prevail
No matter the situation
Whether it be the wind or rain
Any sign of mother nature's wrath
Or simply a careless animal who tramples all in his path
She remains steadfast merely crushed for an instant
Tis so simple to overlook
Her sweet and innocent beauty
She comes in different colors of the rainbow
But her favorite is that of angel's wings
Such purity and grace on earth rarely seen
And though times are harsh
She will never break
Merely rest her head and lie in wait
For her life, her most precious love
She awakens and greets the sun high above
