Your Plant In My Garden

Suddenly the words came at last 'Would you lend me your garden this season?' Your face lit up with surprise 'I want no seeds on them but your plant will I water' Oh what a terrible answer At such perfect hour? Curiosity may kill a cat But the truth its heart had seeked I bet it did find A castle filled with dreams unattained You grab the water kettle And head straight for my garden Water in hand, Plant in another, Minds racing With selective myopia I try to stop you from stepping on it And yet I stopped For all I want is to have you water the plant in my garden

If I were the only plant in your garden, I would continue to grow for you. Great poem, Chioma.
