We are all like flowers

We are all like flowers

We are all like flowers

Flowers grow in all shapes and sizes
They are all very beautiful to behold
There are different animals on this Earth
That serve their purpose
Whether it be from the spider to the great white shark
Everything on this Earth has it's place
There are many different people on this Earth
We all have our purpose
Our place in this world
We have many different cultures
Many different religions
Many different ways to express music
Many ways to express our ideas about God
Different ways to love
Different gifts that we were all given
We all have our place
We are all beautiful in our own ways
Just like there are many different varieties of beautiful flowers
That all serve their purpose
We are like flowers
We  are all different
We are all beautiful in our own ways
And we all serve different purposes
Just as there is no one flower that is better than another
There is no human or no being that is better than another
We are all just different expressions of the same thing
We are all humans
We all have our purpose
We all have our place 
We shouldn't think of one person being better than another
Or one idea
Or one way to express love
Or even one way to express God
Is somehow better than the other
They are all just different yet equally beautiful expressions
We are all flowers in our own ways
We are all trying to grow the best we can
In the soil we were given
We just have to choose to accept the other people
And the plants
And the animals
And live in harmony with each other
Instead of fighting with each other

I like how you use the flower simile to show the equality of each entity on mother earth. You show us that earth is one big garden and that each organism has a unique place in that garden. We are like a beautiful collection of wild flowers.

And in showing us that everything is part of this amazing wild flower garden, you give us the lesson that all things are linked together and equal. An important aspect of that lesson is living in harmony; violence is not acceptable.

Yep. You got it. I am glad you were able to receive and appreciate it. :)
Wow what a write. This is a beautiful poem. I love the comparisons. The way you write this part here, I enjoyed a lot:
"We all have our place
We are all beautiful in our own ways
Just like there are many different varieties of beautiful flowers
That all serve their purpose
We are like flowers"
A really lovely write for life, people, animals... the world.
