The Flower that Never Bloomed - Summer 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 Will Never Bloom - Summer

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 I always return to the garden 

And dream 

That she will bloom 

Then the flower will be mine
