My Flowers Died
My flowers died
I took care of them
Sunshine, water, soil, they were heathy
I always took time to speak to them and smell them
and gave with my whole heart,
happiness, warmth, kindness and love
With no warning they died
Why did this happen?
The soft petals, protected leaves
And the long, firm stems stood erect, and then dropped!
Strong and deep roots turned into rigid dry soil
Please believe me, I did take care of them with my whole heart,
happiness, warmth, kindness and love
I grieved them and cried,
sobbed with so many tears
The soil become soggy and the
weeds were growing and invading my heart
Weeds were spreading throughout my sadness and
strangling my throat
I can’t talk and the only thing I can do is scream!!!
Please believe me, I’m covered with poison ivy
It is increasing my agony and I can’t take it anymore!
Dig and pull out the weeds
And now take all the suffering away
A blanket of seeds with positivity and determination
they will grow flowers
Sunshine, water, soil and I will talk to them
My whole heart of happiness, warmth, kindness and love
They will thrive and bloom!!!
