A flower

One day, as I was walking,

I saw a beautiful flower,

Something so unique,

Making its beauty have such power,

It was like nothing as I had seen before,

Even in a fairy tale.

It stood out to me so much,

Even with its colours so pale.

On any other day,

I might have walked right by,

Never even given it a second look,

But that day it caught my eye.

It reminded me of something else,

Important in my life.

A friendship that was fading,

And the gap left in my life.

As I was gazing at the flower,

A thought came to my mind.

What if that flower dies?

What if a better friendship I'll never find?

So , i dug it up,

And took it with me,

planted it in my garden,

And waited for it to seed.

I planted those seeds,

Everywhere I could,

But none of them grew as well,

So still only that one stood.

It made me realize something,

Nothing I planted would be better,

Like the friendship I had,

Nobody could ever replace her.

And maybe that's what,

That flower was for,

Put her to remind me,

That there would only ever be one of her.

And every day I see that flower,

Reminding me what to do.

To put things back on track again,

Bringing back that friendship which was true...
