Birth of a Flower

On this day, a lovely flower blossomed to life,

A flower so beautiful, 
  that the sun peeped from behind the clouds to see her.
A flower so fragrant, 
  that the breeze kept carrying its scent.
A flower so soft 
  that the air kept rubbing itself against the flower's petals.
A flower so enchanting 
  it brushed my heart with love as my eyes caught it.

I wanted to pluck it, 
but it would be with me for only a day.
So, I gave it a place in my heart, 
so it would be with me for eternity.
