For a season
Once I saw a
beautiful flower
Bright, sunny and
sweet
And when I saw it I
thanked God
That I was so fated
to meet
A bloom of such
beauty
Which brought
laughter and joy
That shone despite
adversity
That bloomed in
defiance of toil
The days were bright
together
Laughter and fun in
the sun
And other blooms I
gathered
And formed into one
It was a bright
bouquet
Which bloomed best
when it bloomed together
Meeting life and its
adventures
For what I hoped was
forever
Alas then that I was
to discover
That it was fated not
to be
These blooms flew
away in the wind
Bringing smiles to
others rather than me
And now I have to bid
them farewell
As they fly somewhere
I cannot see
And hope that at
least wherever they roam
They will still be
happy
The remaining dry
leaves I hold in hand
To keep and remember
the reason
That I thanked God
for those flowers bloomed!
And I enjoyed them,
for a season
