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
