Thank you

Thank you for sewing my seed

Watering me

Giving me light

And keeping me out of the cold

.

Thank you for nurturing me

As I start to sprout

Spreading my leaves

And settling roots

.

Thank you for watching me

As I bud my first flower

Waiting for the sun

And opening

.

Thank you for watering me

As I enjoy the sun’s rays

The visiting bees

And the warmth

.

Thank you for picking me

As I enjoy the water

The approving comments

And the love

.

Thank you for throwing me away

As I enjoy the earth

The coldness

And the elements

.

Thank you for remembering me

My beauty

How I made you feel

And don’t forget me
