The Wildflower

The Wildflower

 

In the middle of the cracked, cemented highway

Miraculously grew a small, red wildflower

There it is, existing, unexpectedly,

Alone and no one cares.

But there it is, standing strong and might,

Just dancing with the strong winds,

Not afraid of the cars dangerously passing by,

Making it through the cold days and nights.

I wish I could be like the wildflower,

Even though is born in a dangerous world,

And fighting to live in an unexpected way,

It never complains or gives up,

And it manages to survive.

Though alone and no one seems to care,

It stays strong and courageous, even in the dark.

I wish I could be a wildflower.
