Vacker som vårens första blommor.
Du är vacker som dom första gula blommorna som vågar sig igenom snön.
Kan stå ensamma när alla andra sover sin vinter dröm
Vacker inte för hur dom ser ut, vacker för att dom har en själ som vågar då alla andra funderar… ”Hur?”
Stå med dig jag vill, för då kan jag stå när alla andra ligger still.
Beautiful as the first blooms of Spring
You are as lovely as the first yellow flowersThat dare through the snow, unbroken, bold.
You stand alone while others sleep,Dreaming winter's quiet lullaby deep.
Your beauty lies not in how you appear,But in the soul you bear, undaunted, near,While others ponder, hesitate, and sigh,You are the whisper of the courageous "why."
Beside you, I long to stand, unwavering, still,To rise when others falter, to endure at will.
I asked for an accompanying picture but ran out of free ChatGPT picture generation capacity. It, however described something like this;
An early spring landscape, capturing the first small yellow flowers peeking through melting snow. The flowers are bright and resilient in the soft light of dawn, with the background showing trees still bare from winter. The scene should feel calm, peaceful, and slightly hopeful as if capturing the quiet triumph of nature's renewal.
As if running out of options because the iPhone picture gallery doesn’t allow for target search, I tried Google instead, searching my own picture archives for “yellow flower,” and Woala, I got this picture;
It might even be from when I was inspired to write that poem.
