Of

Friendship

If your life was like a flower
How do you believe that it would be
Would it be a beautiful rose in full bloom
Moving gently in the breeze
 
Would it be a little wild flower
Growing wherever the wind had blown it to
Laying along-side a lonely dusty road
Bringing pleasure only to a privileged few
 
Though you could be that tall straight poppy
Which towers high above the rest
Its strength, its grace, its beauty
Defying gravity at its best
 
But then you might be that green ivy
That clings to everything around
Little tendrils reaching out so far
From tree tops to the ground
 
Or are you a shade house orchid
Its beauty rare and bright
Hidden from the coldness of the world
Gaining its strength from filtered light
 
For me, I believe I am the garden
There is not one plant I would choose to be
For I would be a part of all of them
Growing on land, in desserts and near sea
 
For then I will experience
All that life can throw my way
From the changing of the seasons
And night, as it turns into day
 
So please, come share my garden of life with me
And allow love to flourish and grow
For we can create a beautiful flowering paradise
From the seeds of friendship, we have helped to sow
