Ethan Jewell Bouquet
I've got this big old box with all these flowers
Aren't they pretty?
I'm walking for hours feeling witty
So I stumble upon you not having a good day
So I say, "Hey, hey! Just take one of my flowers"
And you say thanks
And it brightens up your day
And you head on your way
Now I have one less flower
But that's okay 'cause I say that I'll be okay
Just seven pretty flowers all wrapped in a box
I wish they were limitless, but they're not
She sits in the corner crying
And I wipe her tears with a large sunflower
And she takes it and gets filled with joy
And I sink a little bit deeper but that's fine
Because I've still got some flowers left
I think some of them I should've kept
But it's too late now
'Cause I'm helping other people
So that makes it okay
It's not too late
Another day, another flower
Are you okay? Another flower
Out of harm's way
Another day, another flower
Three, two, one flowers left
And I'm running oh so low
So low on the life that I once had
I take a glance at my friend in the garden
And they need a flower
So I debate to give my flower
To give them the power of joy in their life
And fight away any sour thoughts that they have
Every single day
And take it on myself
As I drift far away
Deeper into the dirt
I crawl like my flowers
'Cause now I'm all out
And I'm all out of sun
I wish I never had any flowers
Because now, like a vase, I'm empty
But at least everyone else has my flowers
And that makes them happy
So maybe it's worth it in the end
A hand I could lend
Yet I'm losing grasp on my own sense of life
But then I see her from across the room
She grips a bouquet of flowers
And so brightly they bloom
Behind me the darkness looms
So soon a tomb
But I take a step towards her
And her smile is like the water to my non-existent flowers
She hands me a rose
And her soft skin is like the sun
It nourishes the dark that I've been hiding in for so long
I have a flower once again
And happiness is where I seek
And maybe, just maybe, a whole garden I'll keep
So always hold onto your flowers
For when the days get sour
You'll always be able to go back to that flower
