                            My dear bluebonnet bell, 

  

      a rain fell and so did you 

but it came at a great loss, the raindrops had to lose their life for one to come to life

it took a leap of faith for a moment to come to come alive for a sheer minute, 

it may have not been long but it did the one thing the raindrop always wanted to do 

 

the sky of grey cleared and out shown the sun and bright baby blue sky 

aling with it's white balls of fluff known as clouds, 

they look so soft, don't they?

but something new has come to the great land we know

 

a small bluebonnet bell   one that is made from bravery of millions upon millions of baby raindrops,

 bluebonnet bells,  oh how i love you so, how one thing ended and so came you 

that pretty blue you hold, one that makes your name come oh so true

 

oh one so pretty that you bring millions of raindrops to their death 

but oh dear bluebonnet bells, how little do you know of what beauty you hold

of how your beauty beams out of every other in a group of others in a meadow, 

 

oh sweet bluebonnet bells,   you hold so much meaning more than you should ever know, how you make me smile when the sunrise hits the leftover drops of dew shine on you

it makes other raindrops want to fall at your feet for your beauty

and so they shall, just for much more of you to spread other and bring smile upon others faces, 

just like how you make me smile

 

sweet bluebonnet bells, thank the rain for making you, 

for i know that i thank the millions of raindrops everyday for falling for you to come to life

and make my life much more happier with the blue of your petals 

 

for everyday i shall wake and think of you, my bluebonnet bell,  you gave me life, 

a new purpose and outlife on life and love

and everyday i will look as the rain falls and see that they are the reason you were given life,

and you were the one who made me start living mine

        

                   thank you, my baby bluebonnet bells, i love you,

The author's comments:

Bluebonnet Bells are real flowers located in Texas. They stand for bravery and sacrifice. But I've always have had a more personal love for them, which is why I love them. I do also love them for their name, it's just so different and pretty, which makes it a bonus. Again, I wanted to make something about it, and sorta share "my story," about it on why I personally love it. And the reason why I put a date as something other than 2021, I wanted to kinda pull of something a little "vintage," if you know what I mean. But "the letter," is a sorta love letter and thank you for everything and making me who I am now.
