And there it stands, a simple flower,
Unfurling petals, come what may,

As children laugh and joy unwinds,
This vibrant bloom, it summons smiles,
A comfort for all weary minds.
It dances freely, with such ease,
Leaving every doubt behind.

As twilight hues begin to creep,
And shadows lengthen, soft and deep,
A peaceful slumber, for all to keep.
The simple flower, now in sleep,
