FATHER OF THE FLOWERS - OF ALEPPO

His name - was - is - Abu Al Ward - they called him - The Father Of flowers
In the middle of war - Abu - grew flowers
As he planted - seeded - the sound of bombs
Being dropped - exploding - all around - barrel bombs full of shrapnel the horrors released
The Father Of Flowers - likened - the sounds of war
To Beethoven's music - I add Tchaikovsky - his 1812 - appropriate
Comes to mind
Flowers - filled the mind with cent - eyes with couler
Took away the war - fore a short while at least
People - came to The Father Of Flowers - to ask fore seeds - bulbs
To seed the the city - so - that one day Spring - Summer - will show once again
His - son Ibrahim , worked beside his father - learning valuable lessons
the joys of nature
Then one day a bomb - feel to close - The Father Of Flowers - killed
His son - Ibrahim - fatherless - motherless - he is lost - dos not know what to do
Lets hope he - Ibrahim - will follow - his fathers example - and look after the flowers

In the midst of all the wrong things happening in the world, it is necessary to keep the good in us alive. Only then can we, one day rid ourselves of all the wrong happening in the world. Wonderful write Ken. :)
