A Happy EIGHTY-THIRD Birthday to
Poet George J. Carroll

The Soul

The soul is like a flower

Delicate and fragile

But still amazingly powerful

Not one person’s soul is the same

Though not much different

Each one unique…so special

Some grow wild like lilies of the field

Others like a rose or orchid

So delicately unique

It withstand the storms of life

Sometimes get torn apart

Sometimes crack

But taken care of the gardener of love

Those with gentle hands

And pure at heart

Sometime left dry like in a desert

With only dewdrop to feed them

But when washed clean by raindrops

The aroma comes out

So special

Each soul like a flower

When seeds of love fall again

On new grounds

The rebirth is astounding
