Write a poem on the theme of 'Lost and found'.
lost and found
The sun beams in the sky
baby seeds scatter and fly
the wind carries them to their home
where they will learn to become grown
until the clouds converge
and rain will submerge
the breeze will turn fierce
and children separate from peers
one will fall amongst the leaves
and will soon misperceive
that he will grow the same trees
but he will soon be displeased
the shells crack and out buds soar
sprouts that will soon achieve more
three inches turns to feet
while the one remains meek
he ponders his height
and soon develops fright
why is it that he is falling behind
while all the others thrive?
their petals bloom yellow
and they gaze adoringly at the sun aglow
he wishes he could stand beside them
but his petals turn red and he stays condemned
earth makes a revolution therefore
spring arrives once more
new seeds plant themselves down
to replace those that left their town
he stays quiet, petals wither
the colors losing their vigor
the others around him grow
new colors starting to show
he expects them to soar higher
yet sits in shock and feels his petals develop their fire
they gaze at the sky with him
no longer is he in their shadow dim
to his left, a pink forms
lighter than his own
but the petals curve the same
and he no longer feels shame
their voices meet together in a symphony
and he realizes an epiphany
he is no longer lost amongst strangers
he is found amidst friends
