Each and every wilted leaf, delivers me a wilted emotion. As your flower fades my strength dwindles. I need you as much as you need me. Starting as a seed, you became the beauty in my life. You've been there through thick and thin. Most of all, you were the listener to my words; the ear to my mouth; the silent wisdom and answers to my cry's. You've carried me through the hardest of times, smiling up at me with so much joy and glee. Now you weep and droop hiding from the light. Please look up at me and remember how far we've come. I will smile at you as you did for me.
