Author Poet
Our life is a beautiful garden
Where many seeds have been planted
Each flower grows alone
With vibrant colors and scents
Then emerges that one special flower
The magical flower
This flower does not stand alone
The color not any brighter than the others
The scent not any stronger
Just one look and you see the magic
The flower's beauty is within
It carries a special love and warmth
To be shared by all
It has spread it's love year after year
It is left untouched, so through the years
Each generation can see it's magic
The magic is not it's beauty
The magic is not it's strength
The magic is love
The love this flower makes me see
The flower has shown kindness
It gives us warmth, teaches us strength
Lets us see the beauty within ourselves
As the flower aged it never lost its magic
One day the flower was gone
But the magic never left
I can no longer see the flower with my eyes
But close them once
And there it stands in my mind and heart always
My Nanny
My Magic Flower
