The Flower of Adversity

The grass is green

After months of snow

The sun is all I see

Things are now beginning to grow


Out of the ground grows a sunflower

Inching toward the sky with its leaves

And rests its shining face during the darkest hour

Until it's ready to achieve


Rain clouds came, and the dark days reigned

The poor flower wasn't ready to open up

But its beautiful petals were ready to be reclaimed


The sun then again shone on the flower

Who began to grow again amongst all of its power

It quickly gained back all of its petals

Which were worn like medals

Among  fellow flowers in the meadow


The rainy days were soon forgotten

For holding on to them only made the flower rotten
