Opening Flower

Like a summer flower
 Her smile is a gift
She can bring joy by thought alone
Watch your heart

Her laughter at class time is a thing to behold
Bold, funny, endearing and searing
A ringing of bells
A knowing of secrets

Her sweetness can smooth hurts
Ask her of mystery
Ask of love
From an ancient land to a foggy sky

My dear Ozlem
My friend
Thinking of you I pray
For your journey, life, safety, loves
Blessings friend
As your heart unfolds like an opening flower
