Enjoy this beautiful poem written by Abie
FLOWER A flower in the spring blooms, dances, and awakens its new petals kissed by gentle sunshine and the bright colors divine. In the spring, a flower thrives. A flower in the summer enchants, charms, and displays presenting its matured form strong enough to withstand any storm. In the summer, a flower grows. A flower in the fall tires, floats, and mixes slowly drifting to sleep leaving behind a sweet aroma that it had hoped to keep. In the fall, a flower changes. A flower in the winter fades, wilts, and naps a blanket of white snow cushioning its head and an icy curtain decorates its bed. In the winter, a flower rests awaiting the spring to restart the cycle once again.
