A flower grew in a garden so bright.
A beautiful creation, a wonderful sight.
That flower started from someting so small,
and grew to be proud, straight and tall.
And all it took were the right situations.
Good healthy roots, and the proper conditions.
A spattering of rain, a touch of sun,
A bit of shade, and the circle's begun.
The circle of life, from start to finish.
A miracle from God, a thing to cherish.
And tho' sometimes bowed by the wind and rain,
The flower grows straight and tall again.
So look at that flower, then look at you,
Look at your life, it's like a flower too.
And be grateful for the wind and rain that come.
As you grow tall and straight, under Gods sun.
