Lotus flower

Lotus flower in my heart
It took so long to make you grow
From darkest hours in my yard
Into something beautiful

Endless winter felt so cold
Snow had covered frozen grounds
But still your roots resisted bold
In icy storms, to rainy sounds

There were some tough times, I admit
Some pointless battles that we fought
They made us wise, taught us to quit
'Cause happiness is never bought

So lotus flower in my heart
We've come so far, I am so proud
Through ups and downs we became smart
And realized what it's all about

Now there's just one thing left to do
Unfold your leaves and flourish, bloom!
By that your mission will come true
For dreams and hope create some room
