PAEON
Protected by zeus,
Your essence was turned to bud.
Plain and seemingly insignificant;
The bud hides your true beauty.
An incredible soul is hidden within it.
For only the most beautiful flower could represent your skill and compassion.
Zeus chose well.
This was a gift of protection and defiance.
He eternalised your mind, your heart and your skill;
Allowing it to flower forever.

And everyone gazes upon your beauty
And wonder how it became.
Some will know your story.
Passed down through the ages;
It stands the test of time.
And today, within this moment,
You are here to heal many hearts;
Bringing the compassionate to the wounded,
You continue to spread healing to many.
Empowering people with love and kindness
Paeon the physician,
Paeon the protector,
Paeon the healer,
Your beauty will bloom forever.
