The Garden

Sometimes I just want to get away
Except I don't have the key
I'm locked up and can't find the way out
and everyone's given up hope on me.

I used to love it here in the place
Never thought I'd see the day I'd want to go
But sometimes the most beautiful places
Start to turn ugly and cold

There used to be flowers and peace around me
I too once added to the beauty of this garden
But slowly...suddenly the flowers started to wilt
Now all the leaves have turned brown and the ground has hardened

Inside I know I'm still beautiful
As do these flowers beside me
They just need nurturing and kindness
They require somebody to give them the love and care they need.

See a flower can blossom from a seed into a beautiful object.
But without love it won't forever stay that way.
Eventually it will need just the right amount of love
Enough to keep the petals alive and the flowers blossoming each day.

For without that loving touch and nurturing
that flower is just a weed
Ugly, wilted and abandoned
That beautiful flower would just be a seed

But one day that lonesome seed will grow once more
It will find beauty once again
But its only with the help of sunshine and love
That this garden will grow again.
