My Dearest Love

To Grow A Plant

First 

pick a seed

nurture the soil

Then

plant the seed

Don't leave it alone in the dark

give it drink

be patient 

Give it more drink

Don't lose hope so fast

just when patience is at it's end

A sprout shows its eyes

Now its time to protect it from predators 

Don't leave a baby out for the wolves

nurture the life that is given

When the season reaches its end

and all precautions were made 

the seed has given a gift

for all the effort that was made

A fruit will lay ready to pick

Small or large

short or long

skinny or fat

the fruit is perfect 

Never forget that

Songs

wordless music can bring

different feelings to a room

it paints pictures

forever green hills of memory

hope in the naive 

sparkles of glitter added to the rain

the courage of a simple mouse faced by the cat

scars in the book that is written too

numb anger of a guard dog

flower beds of color and life

distrust of a stranger 

black groves of lost love

fairy tales of dreams come true

listen to the sound

dah ah ah maa foo da la dah
