Summary

Hello, I hope you reading this is well. This is a poem I wrote for work, we were asked to do a creative piece about our team of 4 and I offered to create a poem.

I've never published anything before so thank you for reading, it means a lot to me. if you have any thought or want to comment please do, I am more than happy to talk about this or poetry.

Stronger together

Stronger together

Within the concrete city, there sits a garden of flowers

Surrounded by cars, trains, planes and towers

This garden blooms a wide variety

of roses, orchids, tulips and a papaya tree

The beauty of a garden in a concrete city

no matter where I am, I’ll always have a flower with me

A flower has the power to be resilient

colourful, charismatic, kind and brilliant.

The garden spoken of belongs to Tower42

A great big structure, a symbol of fortitude

The wild, winter winds have brought the hardships of life

but our unique, boutique receptionists put up a hell of a fight

From loss, to grief, to pain beyond compare

I know with our team, I’ll always have someone there

For a rose, a tree was taken from them too early

for it has hurt her and it has hurt we

For a orchid, a petal couldn’t bloom to light up the world

but the pretty petal is now as free as a bird

For a tulip, illness infected its leafing

but through adversity, life found new meaning

Two new seeds, planted in the dirt

Joining the team, starting to work

with each new seed, a chance to grow

we will reap, what we sow

A rose on its own has no power at all

but a rose in droves has the power to stand tall

The flowers in a garden can manage all weather

no matter what’s happens we are stronger togethere…
