Wild Flowers
These flowers grow together
But we do not
The flowers may grow wild and free
But we may not
Their colours are not questioned
Their colours don’t impose
Their colours improve the meadow
Whether daisy, fern or rose.
Wild flowers do not go to war
To please the bees
Wild flowers do not grow in shade
And blame the trees
Wild flowers let their roots entwine
And share a common soil
Even when they fade
Their uniqueness does not spoil.
Even when their time is done
They share everything they’ve got
They give all the things that we give too
And some things that we forgot.
Wild flowers grow together.
