Flower in the garden

There once was a flower in the garden,
lost among the weeds.
she thought she was forgotten,
as she bent with every breeze.

The days were warm with sunshine,
but she could never tell.
she was hidden in the garden,
the weeds concealed her well.

She often cried in silence,
and wished someone would come along.
someone to tear the weeds out,
and make her life a song.

One night, lost in the darkness,
a stranger stumbled by.
he fell within the garden,
and he saw the flower cry.

She was blinded by her weeping,
so she had not seen him fall.
she was cursing all the many weeds,
around her growing tall.

Slowly, with just one gentle touch,
the stranger brushed the weeds away.
and he held her close beside him,
where he told her she could stay.

He had a warmth like sunshine,
a warmth she never knew.
and then he whispered that he loved her,
she knew she loved him too.

Then one day he gazed at her,
and as he tried to keep a smile.
she gently brushed against him
and they both forgot a while.

Yet today as she remembers,
in her heart she feels a pain.
for although he'll soon be leaving her,
in her heart he shall remain.........
