My life as a flower


My life's journey has not been much different from yours pretty flower.
We have both traveled long and hard to get here.
Sometimes we could roll effortlessly on our own
other times someone was there to gently nudge us
and when we needed more help we were carried.
No matter how,
we did it.
We made it!
We're here!

Our growth is not much different, no very much alike.
We have needed guidance and care along the way.
We learned from our surroundings and those around us
We have become beautiful through storms we have endured.
We grew and became who we are now.
Pretty
Bright
Alive

We may question why we are here.
Are we here for others to look at?
For others to judge our beauty?
Are we here just because?
Or are we here because someone loves us.
Someone who wanted us to learn,
to grow,
to become beautiful.

  1. Beautiful, Karee. I am certain you are here, among many other reasons, for others to learn from...your students someday, your kids, everyone who gets to see just what a rare flower you really are. Did you take those pictures? Where?
