Flowers
Are naturally exquisite
Like the bare skin
On a baby’s face
Untouched from harm
No bumps
No bruises
Just the heart-warming kisses
From a mother
Who cares for her
Intricate masterpiece
Her bubbly bundle
Her unconditional love

I went down to the sea
And I looked as far I could see
I heard a sound, it was a bee
I just decided to let it be
Then I went to the shore
And I looked around some more I couldn’t find it
What would I do?
