The flower that blooms reaches the light

Grasping, fighting to push itself up to the light

Petals will drop as storms battle against the flower

The flower that blooms will stand rigid in battle

For the flower knows to journey towards light

Gods love will be waiting

Strength will prevail

For the sweet smell of success is wrapped in kindness and compassion

The dizzying height of success for the flower is to reach the light

To wonder over the beauty of the world.

Love sweet love the flower

Resonate with this beautiful written piece below about self love by Dr. Gabriella Korosi

We can take inspiration for our own lives through observing flowers. Each flower will naturally seek out the light without interference or comparison to other flowers.

A flower will arrange its DNA with perfect symmetry and is truly a sight to behold.

Flowers leave a lasting fragrance, an unforgettable essence.

Breathe in the scent of a flower with the knowledge that the essence will be memorable and a scent to treasure.

The gift of a flower, a bouquet or even a hand-picked daisy from a child will instantly illuminate the face of the receiver.

Flowers are a gift of love from the creator provoking our senses feel, smell, see and be uplifted.

A flower will guide us to the light and love of self when we allow ourselves to acknowledge its beauty.

I felt excited to write this piece prompted by Dr. Preeti Singh Flowers can be our teacher with close observation.
