IF A BUD OF A FLOWER GETS DAMAGED.
FROST.
Damaged.
It won't open
when it ages.
It will not open to the sun.
When a new baby is born
beautiful creation
needing sun and water
like the bud of a flower -
being nurtured with
warmth and encouragement
love in words
and every expression.
Grows *being *becoming*
If the child
receives
cold
chill
abuse or rejection
or even indifference -
the chill damages.
FROST.
Damaged creation.
That person will struggle
to open to the sun
struggle to relate
struggle to love
struggle to become
struggle reach potential.
I reach out to those who have failed to love.
And those who have been unable to love.
