Pretty Flower


What colors before me
Glimmering in the light
All different shades
So clean, shiny and bright
The sun reflects
Off of the surface so smooth
As its satiny finish
Peers right through
Smooth and colorful
And pleasing to the eye
Beauty beheld
But, now it will die
For this is a flower
That I just picked
And without its soil
It's wilting rather quick
For its beauty fades
All too soon
When the sun is high
And the day is noon
So let me go in
To fetch some water from the sink
Before its life escapes and it dies
That this pretty flower may have a drink
