When is a flower more beautiful? br br Is it when it has grown br from a seed, br nurtured by the rain br the sun, all the good elements br and applauded when it showed br its first petal and placed under br a glass to keep it safe? br br Or is it when it was dead br and crushed to the ground, br and then given love, br time, appreciation and br acceptance, only to have a miracle br happen where colour and radiance br explode into full bloom once again? br br whether it be a sunflower, br a daisy, a rose..... br flowers are just flowers br they merely fall from my hands br br but the love you gave and the br nurturing and care....
