Flower

Oh God, I'm not a human
To hold my hands in prayer
But I do have many a stamen
That grow and bow to my maker

I don't have mouth to speak
Words in praise of the Lord
But I do have colors I can tweak
That can easily be read by a bard

I don't have just the brain
To even think of the supreme power
But I do have the muscle that I train
To produce blooms on getting a shower

I don't have the wisdom to preach
To do only good and shun the bad
But I do grow around and reach
The loving hands of a lady or a lad

I am not as intelligent as the kinds
God put on earth as creatures
But I draw the beautiful minds
with the blessings of Mother Nature

Flowers have colours that they can expose
They have feelings too that they can't express.
You have tried to fathom their life's purpose
And give words to their thoughts in a way that impress.

To infect anyone who comes close
One gets branded as contagious
Listing flowers and poetry among those
Isn't it indeed outrageous?

But I do have a valid reason
To substantiate my allegation
Flowers spread cheer in every person
And poetry, creativity and adoration!
