A Broken Flower

One day a bud began to blossom

It grew into a beautiful bloom

It could not hide its natural beauty 

It’s pleasant fragrance filled the room

But time began to fade its beauty

It’s aging body withered down

And winter came and stole it’s glory 

It gracefully fell onto the ground 

CH

There’s beauty in a broken flower

A withered leaf and a thorny stem

Through all life’s seasons; springtime and winter 

It has changed with time and by stormy winds

Now gently pedals are falling this hour

There’s beauty in a broken flower

One day the sun announced its dawning

And all creation began to sing 

What once was dead began to dance and 

Sweet flowers filled the earth with Spring
