The Confused Flower

There was a flower who always felt inferior and was filled with insecurities. As a baby shoot it grew and grew, and so did the insecurities. Birds flew by and many mocked and spat at the flower. All the other flowers had birds and insects lay upon them, and this flower's insecurities grew stronger.

The flower began to work on its inner beauty, knowing that someday, a bird may land due to its inner sweetness. Time passed and some birds came, and one of them grew to spend more time with the flower. The flower for once felt genuine attention and care. Yet the flower was being taken away from the bird to a foreign land to be nutured by its owner. Both were sad, yet they believed they were going to meet and be together some day.

Out in the new foreign land, the flower stood silent amidst the strangers. It didn't care about the birds nor the insects. Yet time passed and the flower met another bird whom treated the flower with even more attention and care. The flower and the bird grew closer and happier together until one day, the flower heard a song in the wind that brought back sudden memories of the bird back in its hometown.

The flower's eyes closed for a moment, and was brought back to reality and confusion. There were two birds. The owner of the flower loved one bird deeply for the bird loved the owner too. The other bird was just a bird flying without knowing the flower's owner... The flower, however, believes in the day that the bird to come to know its owner.

The flower thought back to the days of its past and questioned its owner, to dawn upon itself the truth and the uncertainties yet to come by its way. The flower will never know where its owner will take it, and which bird the owner will allow for the flower. The flower does not want either bird to be hurt. The flower is filled with grieve choosing to hurt itself by running away and hiding its feelings.

The flower is filled with questions and uncertainties... yet will choose to understand and draw closer to its owner and walk its owner's way...... It is good that the flower has its owner to talk to, and an owner who loves and care for the flower. The flower's path is always in its owner's hands and happiness too. So the flower should not worry, but just return to the owner, humbled and contrite for the owner's love and comfort.

Poor flower, it's feeling so sad and confused. Let's pray for that flower...
