The Flower that Never Bloomed - Fall: Poem


In March of 2017 I made a wonderful Sterling Silver Daisy Necklace.  I wrote this poem to go with the necklace. I have four different endings to go with the seasons.



Title: The Flower that Never Bloomed - Fall
By: Bruce Hackmann 


How do I care for the flower
That will never bloom

Such a daunting task

The love I want to give
Will never feed the roots of the flower

The time I want to spend
Will never reach the leaves of the flower

The care I want to give
Will never touch the stem of the flower … that will never bloom

Such a daunting task

The beauty that I want to see
Will never inspire my eyes
For the flower that will never bloom
Will never be mine

Such a daunting task

For now
The garden has matured
The flower isn’t blooming
It’s just difficult to return to the garden
