Geoff Warden - Innocence!

In the garden there is one unique flower,
Past the roses, on past the daffodils.

unique this flower, for reasons unknown,
unfinished in blossom as it has aged.

A flower with roots deep in fertile soil,
drawing nourishment as it so needs.

A stem as strong and standing true,
unbent by the winds or the rain.

The petals alive with vibrant colours,
this is were the need to explain.

This flower, having all it needs,
refuses to blossom in full bloom.

Having supply of all in need,
the beauty of this flower, unseen................
