We are but ever-changing flowers

We are but ever-changing flowers,

Going through the seasons in which the world devours

People love and people cower

But that never stops the flowers

Blossoming in the sun

We keep our persons true

The character we have,

And the many things well do

Even when alone,

Our petals open up

Revealing something so effortless

And remaining as we grow up

The seems of those dear flowers,

The buds that are undone

Point towards the ball of yellow

That we all call “the sun”

The sun, the light, the shield to all the darkness

Remains inside our stems

And blossoms through the world

In which we all descend

We are but ever-changing flowers,

Going through the seasons in which the world devours

People love and people cower

But that never stops the flowers
