There Once Was a Time When I Was a Flower

There once was a time when I was a flower.
Happy and bright.
Not a care in the world.
Just going through life,
never expecting things to change.
Then winter came.
With an icy grasp it tore me apart.
Taking away everything I held dear.
I was broken.
Dead.
Then slowly,
so slowly,
I began to grow again.
As the winter thawed I grew.
Quietly where no one would know.
I wasn’t ready to face what had once been.
Time passed.
I grew stronger.
Seasons came and left.
A year passed.
Then with one spring,
hope sprang.
Giving me a reason to bloom once again.
So I grew.
Grew from the wreckage of life.
Letting go of despair,
though never forgetting.
I grew stronger than what I once was.
***
There once was a time when I was ruined,
battered from loss and despair,
but this is a time where I’m shining,
because of the winter that changed me.
