Flower

I had a little flower
that grew into a tree
I didn't know what to think of it
but it hoped that you could see

I started with a small seed
and a little bit of luck
but one day it began to wilt
I thought the end had stuck

I sang it a happy song
and set it in the sun
knowing i had more seeds
so it wasn't the last one

i left soon after
just to get out
sitting with my notebook in the park
with nothing to write about

With all my inspiration gone
and no ideas in my head
i walked slowly home
thinking the flower dead.

But when I walked inside the door
i could not believe my eyes
the flower had grown up to three feet
and still was on the rise

quickly i rushed it to safety
a sunny spot outside
when suddenly it took root
and from my happiness i cried

now sitting with my lover
under the tree so tall
i knew just like our growing love
the tree would never fall

-to my lover...that doesn't exist
