plant tiny seed
in garden womb
grow like a weed
till out of room
when time is ripe
birth little sprout
stem stretches tall
leaves wave about
water with LOVE
nurture strong roots
let sun chase gloom
wait for the fruits
watch child bloom!

Cleverly and delightfully sewn 😉 Lynn! It reminded me a bit of a Shel Silverstein poem!

Your comment has me smilin’, Jennifer…I enjoy Shel Silverstein’s poetry!

Lynn, I love how “water with LOVE” makes care feel simple but powerful, like that one line really grows the whole poem 🌱
