Thank you Gabby

A flower
whose radiance
and waft of sweet
altruistic scent
abounds
sacrifices through
inclement exposure
risking animus
and the ire of weeds
who try to choke
the growth of
her refreshing petals
that kissed the hand
of life and it
reciprocated giving her
a second chance
to plant her seed
foreseeing her beauty
in a flower bed
where her petals
fall fertilizing earth
cultivating other growth

  1. Beautiful tribute to a brave and strong woman. (I think you mean "petals, though, not pedals.)

  2. Thank you Lolamouse. Yes, except being from Mexico the 'd' is a hard sound pronounced like 't' :p.
    Yes, Gabby will be a surviving face for the ugly actions and irony of those who consider 'freedom of speech' an enemy when it doesn't reflect their opinions. This, also, is a dedication to the other faces of humans who lost their lives stand in the corridors of 'free america'.
