[Meadow] Flower

She dances so gracefully in the wind 
With her petals undulating like wings 
And she smiles gleefully into the sun 
As her radiance glitters like gold rings 

She sits like a lovely queen on her throne 
With her bloom looking like an evening gown 
And she holds herself high to face the moon 
As her vibrance glows to light up the room 

She welcomes, happily, the coming storm 
With her blossom opening wide like arms 
And she sways to the beat of falling rain 
As her elegance stays such dazzling charms

She is a beautiful meadow flower
Her enchanted beauty lasts forever
