And because of my daily
visits to you
you began transforming
right before my eyes
Because each and every day
I would begin my morning
with you
watering you
and misting you too
And because of my conviction
and my unconditional love to you
You in return showed me
that you loved me
in a miraculous kind of way
And each and every day
when I would come
to visit you
You would always have
some very special
friends stopping by
Like the hummingbird
and the butterfly
in all there grace and glory
And on occasion
even a lady bug
would find its way
to come and visit you
And none of this
would have ever happened
But it did
because I gave
you a new home
And if it wasn't for
my daily ritual
of visiting you
and nurturing you
you wouldn't be here today
And you would
have slowly died
and gone away
But you and I both know
because we made
an agreement together
from the very beginning
That you have always promised me
no matter what kind of weather
comes your way
that you will continue
to let your petals blossom
each and every day
as long as I nurture you
in a very special kind of way
So that you would continue
to remain healthy and strong
all summer long
Because you are
my special rose garden.
With a promise of
forever and a day.
