Oh Look How The Flowers Grow



Oh look how the flowers grow
Nourished by the soil six feel bellow
Oh I can't wait for those flowers to bloom.
Bloom from what was once gloom

I hope people don’t dwell on the soil,
If they dwell the sight could spoil,
For the flowers bloom is much more pretty
and that would be such a pity.

Sometimes what might seem bad could be good.
People focus on the now rather than what could.
Some say that they wished the soil would have called instead of being alone
But without the soil the flowers would not have grown

The soil watches the flowers grow finally happy, finally at peace
Because everything came to cease
The flowers thriving more than ever
Will keep the soil at peace forever

And in my grave I lay
I am happy my death brought a sun ray,
Because oh look how those flowers grow
Nourished by the soil six feel below
