I looked in the mirror,
And my reflection said,
"Darling just breathe,
You've flowers in your head.

They need fresh air,
They need your sunshine,
Winters are retreating,
It'll soon be springtime.

I know you've struggled,
And you've been sore,
But life's isn't a rhyme,
It's a damn forklore.

The petals have all colours,
And fragrance of your smile,
And butterflies fluttering,
In your world agile.

Seasons; they change,
Flowers die too,
But after the autumns,
Buds shoot anew!"

A tiny smile arched,
Right across my face.
I found the warmth,
In my own embrace.
