Friendship Blooms

Two little flowers were planted one day,

In a beautiful garden somewhere far away.

They fast became friends and promised never to part,

They entwined their stems and touched each other’s heart.

Years passed by and the flowers grew,

They shared joys, tears and the wisdom they knew.

Then one day the winds of change blew by

And forced one flower to take to the sky.

The flower cried out, “Don’t leave me my friend!”

And the other one vowed “We’ll be together again!”

Years came and went and the flowers yet grew

Changing as the weather and earth made them to.

The once young flowers, now mature and refined

Had bloomed through the years and changed over time.

Their once fragile petals had grown strong with the years.

Beaten down by some seasons, they gained strength through their tears

Soon the winds of change will blow by them again,

And take them away, perhaps back to their friend?

I wonder if they will know each other, despite the changes time wrought.

Will they feel the same joy after finding the friend they sought?

Or will they think the other so different now?

Knowing the friendship is there, but not the same somehow.

No matter the changes they see in their friend,

The bond they first formed will remain ‘till the end.
