Life began with expectation Tending to the barren bed Painful hope and disappointment Driving each repeat attempt Joyful prayer and jubilation Welcomed in a budding shoot Joined by leafy, sibling heads the Crowning young boldly unfurled Instinct nurtured their progression Soft hands stroked each silken leaf Revelling in propagation Wonder forged Taurean strength Soon each seedling sprouted high and Outgrew its familial crib Tendrils stretching boldly out Testing, straining boundaries Cupped in trepidatious fingers Nervously each found its place Being swaddled and surrounded Ceded saplings confidence Basking in the sunlit bedding Independence spread its roots Yet still needing reassurance Cautious in fresh liberty Branching out, each budding flower Cultivated character Crimson fire, cocky cobalt, Mellow blonde with golden hue Satisfaction smiles over Burgeoning maturity Vigilent, maternal counsel Stakes up blooming confidence Predators surround each blossom: Pestilence apocalypse Constant, careful conservation Safeguards childish ignorance Basking in the garden’s beauty Watching bees promote rebirth Contemplating life’s real purpose She smiles at nature’s knowing plan

The Gardener
Life began with expectation Tending to the barren bed Painful hope and disappointment Driving each repeat attempt Joyful prayer and jubilation Welcomed in a budding shoot Joined by leafy, sibling heads the Crowning young boldly unfurled Instinct nurtured their progression Soft hands stroked each silken leaf Revelling in propagation Wonder forged Taurean strength Soon each seedling sprouted high and Outgrew its familial crib Tendrils stretching boldly out Testing, straining boundaries Cupped in trepidatious fingers Nervously each found its place Being swaddled and surrounded Ceded saplings confidence Basking in the sunlit bedding Independence spread its roots Yet still needing reassurance Cautious in fresh liberty Branching out, each budding flower Cultivated character Crimson fire, cocky cobalt, Mellow blonde with golden hue Satisfaction smiles over Burgeoning maturity Vigilent, maternal counsel Stakes up blooming confidence Predators surround each blossom: Pestilence apocalypse Constant, careful conservation Safeguards childish ignorance Basking in the garden’s beauty Watching bees promote rebirth Contemplating life’s real purpose She smiles at nature’s knowing plan
This is a poem inspired by and a tribute to my mother. What works, what doesn't? Does it make sense?
