~Innocent Flower~

Today I met an innocent flower.
He smiled at me, making me glower.

I returned the fervour and shook his hand
He jumped up and down, making my smile expand.

He told me, he is new and need a friend.
I bent to his level and kissed his hand.

He dragged me to the park and asked me to play.
I looked all around and thought what to say.

He climbed the stairs and sat on the slide
Using his hands to summon me, with delight.

I pushed him from the top and he beamed with joy
And asked me with pleading eyes, to give it a try.

I found it a little absurd to use the slide of a two-year old.
But then found myself sliding on it, thinking, when did I get so bold?

Together we ran and played all the while
He making me a clown and I making him smile.

I felt happy, after so long time
Because that innocent little flower, came to my life.
