Garden of Knowledge

In our cultivated garden of knowledge where our flowers grow,

We are never growing just a rose,

Of course, there will always be roses, and there will also be daisies,

Let’s not forget the tulips, lilies, orchids, carnations,

And even the angel trumpet flowers that can surely drive you crazy,

They will all bloom differently so we shouldn’t give them a standard on which bloom is more beautiful,

Each flower will bloom into their best form of beautiful and that’s what makes this world so wonderful,

The point to remember,

is they’re all different as we should respect what each flower was intended to be,

So can we agree,

All deserve to grow in a garden of knowledge that is respectfully judgement free.

Now we must always be mindful of droughts that will run your well low,

You must always keep it full,

so, the passion never runs low,

for each flower depends on that water,

so, it can grow,

That water is our passion, so we must never let it go.

In each garden of knowledge young flowers will never grow the same,

However, the water needed will never change,

and if we all work together, we can really make it rain.

A wise little girl once said,

“The rain won’t stop until we receive it.”

And we would be wise to believe it,

Let’s remove all the umbrella’s,

So, the water will get to all of the flowers that truly need it.
