Make Me a Wildflower

i want to be more like the wildflowers

blooming by the roadside

ignoring the rush of the world passing by

stretching tall, growing roots

opening to the sky

beautiful in their quiet way

never demanding an eye

content to bloom for only a day

existing for the creator on high

i want to be more like the wildflowers

bowing low in the night

resting in slumber under stars and moonlight

staying still, letting go

peacefully out of sight

majestic in their gentle way

never boasting selfishly

content to live and die in good time

existing solely for god's good glory
