Petals



A petal falls to the ground.
Next to a beautiful flower is found.
The weather suddenly changes fast,
But seasons never come to last.
The bright sun has lightened the sky.
As soft, cool wind is drifting by.
The fresh green grass floods the ground,
As gorgeous bright blossoms are spread around.
People look foward to these glorious days,
And expect them to come in many ways.
What should all this mean to you?
The nature and beauty lies within you.
