Small Splendor
Tiny green bud springs forth from fertile brown earth.
The first bloom of life will be loved and nourished by nature
Kissed by the sunlight
Watered by tears from the sky
Nature will love this tiny green bud
She will coax it from a brown crib until it is bud no more
Overnight the bud becomes stem
The stem gives birth to flower
One flower soon gives way to splendor
A garden of rich, radiant hues
To live and touch the soul with beauty
Tiny green bud .
