For the Moment
by Deborah Hyland

A seed it was planted
Inside my heart
And as it started to grow
I was filled with joy
And overwhelmed
At the beauty someday it would show
I nurtured this seed
With wishes and dreams
And hoped for sun-filled days
I watched from afar
As it started to bloom
With the brightest of colors it made
It grew with a strength
And stood proud and tall
And dark clouds or rain
Made no difference at all
It made me so proud
And gave me so much
This beautiful flower
With its soft gentle touch
And whenever my days
Bring hurt or pain
Or I’m feeling a little bit blue
I think of my flower
And my heart fills with love
For dear daughter, this flower
Is you
