An Orchid is like a Woman

Like a woman

An orchid is a beautiful flower

Like her foundation      

The orchid stem is strong yet flexible

Like a woman’s skin

The orchid petals are silky soft to the touch

Compared to her feminine body

An orchid’s form is curvaceous

Like her beauty

An orchid is designed by nature’s highest vision

And reminiscent of her scent

The orchid’s sweet aroma casts a spell on innocence

Like a woman’s patience

The orchid waits to bloom when ready

And similar to her endurance

Few other blossoms match the orchid’s longevity

Like a woman

An orchid has special needs to grow

Light to know which direction to face

Water to maintain suppleness

The balance of nutrients to flourish

Like a woman

An orchid can blind with good looks

Seduce the hungry

Lure entrance to trappings of sweet honey

Like a woman       

An orchid thrives among nature’s bounty

Is admired by countless beings

As only a woman’s face can, the orchid gleams in the moonlight

Like a woman’s inner beauty of generosity

Orchids share multiple flowers on a single stem

Most of all

A woman is like an orchid wanting, needing loving care
