BEAUTIFUL (SUPRIYA)

You are as beautiful
as an earth-scented garden
shortly after it rains.
With pink round-petaled flowers
waving fro and to
with as much leisureliness
as the wind will allow.
And when neighborhood childrens'
dreams have been blown away
by the vagaries of the weather,
You will still be here
so there will still be dreams present.

The vagaries of the weather are really the vagaries of life during and after growing up.
Round-petaled is not hyphenated in the original version, but I feel that for someone reading it from a page on the first read, that it might be needed to give the correct cadence / intonation.
