Some flowers, like some people,
Seem to get all the luck —
Born to stand out in a crowd,
They seem to have the brightest colors,
Marvelous textures, intriguing design…
It seems totally unfair that, in addition,
They’ve also been endowed
With the sweetest scent.
But still, they need the other plants
To set them off and give them definition;
To provide the laciness and contrast
That will make the bouquet more appealing.
And they, too, must eventually
Lose their petals and fade, so why resent them?
We each have a role to play
In this divine bouquet,
But not everyone can be the star:
Be grateful the director cast you and found
Your own unique contribution to be essential!
