Special Flower Poem by Virginia Cairns

Searching, Seeking
Looking all through the fields

Wind blowing
Storms coming and going

That unknown flower
Just out of reach

Hiding among the others
Whispering come find me!

You know the color
Know the general shape

But yet it hides
And you can not find it

Thousands of others
Begging you to pick them

Some waiting to prick you,
Their thorns sharp and practiced

Others sickly,
Waiting to take all your nourishment

Some tangled,
Waiting to trap you in their vines

Chaos all around
Making the search confusing

But somewhere in this sea of flowers
Is that one whispering your name

Will you ever find this flower,
Or will you settle for another?

Although it seems impossible
To find this special one

With the weather so crazy
And so many others to look through

Hope drives you on
Keeps you going

And makes the impossible
Seem possible
