BE A FLOWER
Be a flower
soft, nice and bright
do not show just your beauty
keep your bitterness inside
A bee will come
to give you a kiss
suck your bitterness out
and change it to honey
to care for the lovers
for the poets and so many others
Perfume the air for us
clean it of pollution
make everyone,
when they see you
or pass by,
feel happy
There is nothing
that will touch the heart
bring the love
change the mind
better than a kind word,
more than a smiling face,
other than a wise act
Be a flower.
Never harm anyone.
Give people pleasure
reach their minds
touch their hearts
give them hope
help them to change for the better.
