mother nature spent years
just crafting your mind
she left such an imprint on you
you think of her
you care for her
in the way she cared for you
mother nature spent years
only creating your hands
your veins twine like her roots
your skin, like bark, withstanding the blows
mother nature spent years
simply designing your heart
she planted it, watered it,
and built a trellis of bone to support it
it blossomed
mother nature spent years
and she made your mind, your hands and your heart
now imagine how long
she spent on your soul
