Fall of the year 2001

The year all the flowers died!

"It was the year all the flowers died
so many saddened, so many cried!
The tears from the eyes of so many fell
so many words, so much pain, so much to tell.
Does the story end with peace and hope?
I'm not sure, but with life I will have to cope.
I travel the road of hope each day
the demon of sadness is not allowed to stay.
My heart is still open, to peer inside
will another enter, for that answer I've cried?
So, I walk each day down that lonely road
I look for the store of happiness, one there is, I am told!
I will look for more flowers in my garden to grow,
I will hold them most dear to me, my love it will show.
At years end, that peace I will once more find.
This will not be the year, that all the flowers have died!"
