someone gave me lovely flowers
and asked that I keep them as mine
but I have come to realise
Some good things come at the wrong timesomeone gave me lovely flowers
and I kept them for a week
after which I hardy gave
them any water to drink.someone gave me lovely flowers
and expected me to care
because apparently I did love
their look so wild and fairSomeone gave me, a lovely flower
that I treat with negligence
I find it hard to really try
to care about myselfbefore you give me any flowers
I'd like to let you know
that just because I admire them
doesn't mean I'll make them grow.But with all of these lovely flowers
That I have and I have lost
I pray that I grow to treat myself
and them as worthy of love.and as drops of water make an ocean
I will put my care into motion.14:30
