O Queen of the Flower Kingdom!

How breathe taking you are!

I stand in awe of your beauty!

Your color so deep and full, it attract and captive my eyes. All my pressures melts away

Your fragrance enters my being and comfort my soul and spirit

You are famous and powerful yet gentle and fragile

Women of the world love to call their names after you

You are sweet and friendly but

You live amongst the thorns

I reached out my hand to touch you

But ouch! Am hurt ! My hand bleeds

I draw back

Maybe you are dressed beautifully for your king

I watched with envy as the bee fly in and calmly drink your nectar without hard work

But he did the good work so your legacy and identity may continue

I watched sadly as the wind blew your beautiful petals away

And finally you are no more

But you gave yourself to your world:

Your color brighten and beautify the world and made it a friendly and happy place

Your fragrance brought healing to my being

Your nectar satisfied the hungry stomach of the bee

You have lived your life and served your purpose.
