never be jealous

Don’t be jealous at the smiling flower
It is glowing with beauty divine I know
Look closely all over that pretty being
You will see lines of sun and wind.

The lines created when she battled
With the fire poured by ruthless sun
Or when the winds tried to tear her
Clawing at her with their furious rage.

Never be fooled by the smiling face
Thinking that they are unduly blessed
Study a little deeper in their life
And you will know that it’s the other way.

Their smile is stable and sweetest
That’s not because they live in heaven
That’s because they have created that bliss
After paying its full price in tears and pain.
