My little friend, so pretty, so wild, so vivacious, how fond I am of you. How I admire and treasure you.

Little flower, I know you may feel weak….I know physically you are fragile…yet you are still a vibrant and stunning bloom, and everyone still derives such a thrill from the impact you have.
All I want to do is protect you from the storm, little flower. I wish I could hide you away, so you could sleep through the worst of the storm. Then when it is safe, and peace is restored, I would hold my breath until I saw your beautiful petals once again..
