The Wisdom of the Chrysanthemum Flower

The Chrysanthemum

 

(Found in a vase in a deserted room)

I’m going to stretch my petals wide.
I’m going to bloom for all I’m worth.
I’m going to reflect the sun’s light and be beautiful.

I’m going to do it because it’s what I was created to do.
I’m going to do it because it’s what I do best.
I’m going to do it for the sheer joy of blooming.

I’m going to do it whether you notice me or not.
