A Garden Growning Around My Heart

I've got a garden, Growing around my heart, With little blue flowers, Called forget me nots, I plant a seed, Not to long ago, i'm just waiting for it to grow, Its a very rare flower, it blossoms only but once a year, I water it daily with my lonely tears, This flower does not need the sun it gets the warm rays of my love, It blooms only for a day, The day you went away, I sit and watch the flower slowly open its lilac and pink petals, One by one the petals open, Little white balloons fly up and out into the sky, I look back at the flower and all the petals have fallen to the ground, All that is left is the stigma, On that stigma lays a little angel, she slowly vanishes away but where she once laid is a seed, the seed I will plant every year. written back in 2012 by Davina browne, inspiration for the poem was losing a precious angel
