</>One could say:
There are petals for every flower
A record of moments
Every so many years
Then a petal falls
Childhood play games
Your first best friend
Your first mistakes
Then a petal falls
The love in your life
The ring bringing trust
To a new found bond
Then a petal falls
To watch new steps
Learn love again
To guide and overcome
Children growing up
Then a petal falls
The first realization
Everything cycled complete
Then the petals continue
And one could say
Flowers forget
the petals are always beautiful

Yes my last name is Flowers, thank you very much, it's been such a long time since i'd been on here and I need to update and rewrite some poems and continue the progression of poetry with them. I feel Poems are sometimes meant to age like that of youth. So as you get older, well the words sometimes become clearer over the years. Poems mature the way we do.
