I went to a flower garden
Where each flower taught me a lesson.
First was lotus the center of attraction.
It grows in unlike conditions.
Sets an example how to fight
internal suffering in our life.
Then comes the roses in variety
It is a flower of beauty.
Lilies Increase the soil fertility
They are a form of purity
Calendula told me how to become healthy.
Peonies gave me tips to become wealthy.
Sunflowers told me to grow high.
One day we have to reach the sky
Night blooming jasmine told me to be distinctive.
Poppies told me to be more imaginative.
In a flower garden
Where each flower taught me a different lesson.
But common thing they told as a flower.
To use your inner talent and beauty as you power.

True. Each flower had something to tell us. " Sunflowers told me to grow high. One day we have to reach the sky"… I am reminded of the very famous poet "Suuryakanthi" (the Sunflower) by late Malayalam poet and winner of the very first Jnanapeeth Award, Prof. G Sankara Kurup
