  • The Flower Child: A Poem I Wrote 22 Years Ago

    I recently came across this poem that I wrote when I was a freshman in high school – May 14, 1990 to be exact.  Just thought I’d share it.

     

    The Flower Child

    A child is a flower

    That opens up to bloom

    Just like a little seed

    Still in its mother’s womb.

    As time goes on it ages

    Each petal is a year

    Hoping to cling fast to

    The love that’s held most dear.

    The petals start to break off

    As the child drifts away

    While wishing it re-flowers

    And blooms again one day.

     

    I got an A minus.
