The Garden

Amidst the garden

A frail flower grows
The ground around begins to harden
The flower starts to slow

The flower cannot live on

It wilts into the dirt
It melts into the lawn
And finally reverts

Yet flowers grow around it

Higher and higher so
The plants use their instincts and wit
To use the flowers nutrients and grow

You see the flower died in the end

But life in the garden continued to amend
