The Flower behind the Wall?
%26quot;The Flower Behind The Wall%26quot;





I am sending you this flower.


Do not be sad thinking it died in route to you.


You see I picked it dead from where it once grew.


It was once alive and growing until it was planted behind the prison wall.


Now it can no longer grow,


no longer live,


no longer breathe at all.


What a shame!


What a waste to be locked up in this unholy place.


Don%26#039;t be sad and do not cry.


Please tell me why it was left here to die.


It withered away because no one here cares at all.


Any hope it ever had was on the other side of the wall.


So keep this flower close to your heart.


It once was a work of art.


It was something beautiful to have and to hold.


Now, it is dry, dead and old.


This flower is symbolic of what is to be.


This flower is the life that was once me.
