Pretty Flower (Children)

No, she's not a grandchild. Isn't she cute, though?



Pretty Flower
by CJ Heck


I picked a pretty flower,
food for bees and butterflies,
and when I gave it to my mom,
I saw tears in Mommy's eyes.

Why are mommies like that?
Pretty things can make them cry
just like a very sad thing.
Can you please tell me why?

She said when I get bigger,
things won't ALL make sense ...
but tears from pretty flowers
are always precious guests.

Beautiful poem...as Victor said great poem for grown ups, especially parents and teachers. Children are so sincere with their precious gifts and often unappreciated by adults. Great write CJ, reminds me of a little boy that was in my classroom several years ago, everyday she brought me a gift of a beautiful tiny stone that he would search the playground for, I always accepted his gift with praise and finding something unusual or unique about the little pebble. By the end of the year the pebbles filled a basket on my shelf, each special...I'll save the remainder of this story...you've got my creativity flowing this early Friday morning my dear friend...thank you so much hadn't thought of this beautiful little boy in a while...you've given me the foundation threads of my next write, I'm not sure if after the web is complete if it will be a poem, story, or article...loved this write. You are a kindred spirit my friend!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

CJ,

I often wondered the same things as this child but found out that over tears of love and happiness we have no control. Your poem is beautiful and timeless my friend.
Reviewed by H. Lena Jones 1/4/2007
I guess adults crying over a little flower can be puzzling to a child. CJ, you're so clever in capturing the innocence of children. Great write, you talented poet! And yes, your subject is cute!
God Bless
Love and hugs

CJ, the copyright office should give you the patent on children's poetry. You have taken the simple, loving act of a child and made it into a profound statement.
