Flower, Child

And your soul will be replenished

once you're showered with

what you crave

and yearn for the most

Your roots spread

and dig

and grow

You'll spurt into the tall blades

into the night sky, even

Your curled petals

will open to this world

What do you need?

Your stretched petals will tell you

And so will the sun,

the great source in the sky

Grow and grow through the garden

The garden is your home

to rest

to replenish

You need a home

You need others akin to a home

Flowers need love

And love you shall receive, child.
