UNIQUE FLOWER

I wasn't going to be just any flower
Where I bloom
There I'd bring hope
I wasn't going to be picked by a hand
I'd dig my roots in and stand
Stand against the wind that tries to blow my petals
Stand against the rain that falls on my leaves
When the skies and clouds grieve
The earth would smile, through my beauty
I'd adorn many a head
As a crown of life
Instead of diamond necklaces and rings
I'd adorn many things
And if you loved me, you'd let me grow.
And when the day comes when I whither and die
Just tell me that you won't cry.
For I grew so much because of your love
And the sunshine and rain from the heavens above
I'll return, to our lands, to Mother Earth
Ready for another birth
