From the garden of innocence
To the field of truth
Just about to face the faces of life
And ready to see the views of womanhood.
My petals have become more scarlet
My fragrance, Oh! So sweet…
Inviting the busy bees around me
And fascinating everyone who sees me.
But my thorn have grown more thicker
My long stem have turned sturdier
Prepared to battle the wild grass
Pricking the embraces of the lover’s hands.
For indeed it is true:
April showers bring May flowers
Behold, I am here:Strong and free
Blooming in the world Now-for-real.
by; Karen Mae
A fitting poem for that gentle lady.

ReplyDeleteoh, so love the wisdom in this poem, Donald. I so love this, "But my thorn have grown more thicker
ReplyDeleteMy long stem have turned sturdier
Prepared to battle the wild grass" because it explains why the thron is a beautiful to me as the flower, because it makes the rose stronger, like the lady, it makes her stronger and have deeper character.
humbled naman po ako. :)
DeleteGreat poem and somehow, does the april rain bring in may flowers symbolizes that with every difficulties bring in a better person or in case of love, makes love stronger?
