As the Flower Blossoms

As the flower blossoms,
It needs water and sun,
To grow healthy and strong.
It does not go out to seek,
The nourishment it needs.
It is totally dependent,
And trusts where food will come from.
~
When dry season hits,
The flower does not give up,
For its roots dig deeper,
Deeper into the ground.
Where no other water is found.
~
Above the dry and dusty surface,
The flower does look beat.
Yet at that important hour,
It does not give up all hope.
For in the distance there is a cloud.
~
Refreshment is on its way,
The rain brought a good soaking.
Reviving the flower to new heights.
All because it did not fret,
Nor give up to the end.
It now stands tall and strong.
The most beautiful flower in all the land.
