The heart that tends the flowers Lyrics by Don Kim 

When the sun rises slowly 

I learn devotion, tending flowers with care 

Watching them bloom in silence

I learn the meaning of waiting there 

If a bud cannot open 

If a petal stays afraid to rise 

I learn to look within me 

And whisper softly, “It'll be okay” 

To love is to tend the fragile 

To wait without a sound 

To blame myself before the world 

When blossoms don’t come out 

To love is not to hurry 

But stay when things fall apart 

A life is just a garden 

Grown by a patient heart 

When the sun is setting low 

I stay beside fallen leaves 

Learning how to ache together 

Learning how to grieve 

When snow begins to cover 

I learn how white can blend 

And through the darkest winter nights 

I learn to guard the end 

So the night won’t turn to black 

So the roots don’t freeze in fear 

I stay, I watch, I listen close 

Until the light is near 

To love is to keep the fire 

When all the colors fade 

To be the warmth that stays behind 

So nothing turns to shade

 A life is just a season 

A bloom, a fall, a start 

And all of it is grown inside 

The heart that tends the flowers
