WHY I WANT TO BE A RED FLOWER?



A day in flower's life
Starts with drops of water flushed by the gardener
The little red flower opens eyes
With sun giving his warmth
With breeze welcoming the little 'ne
Flower starts growing and radiating fragrance

Now friend bee comes
She kisses him,touches him and loves him
Little Red flower enjoyes the company
Suddenly,she finds another companaion
...........he keeps growing

Young flower keeps growing as the day progress
With new marks of age and traumatized with bruise
These blemishes.....offered by the gleaner himself
and he wonders ....WHY?
The young flower learns the rules of life quickly
Discovers soon that world is cruel

As the darkness crawls,
Adult Flower is alone
Wondering "was life cruel?Why gardner did that?Why bee did that?"
and discovers too late
the purpose of life
was in spreading his aroma
And......forgiving everybody

And that's why .....
I want to be a Red flower ......
