Mandy Tams The Golden Girl Poet Rhyme

Craggy Wall

To dig for life’s blood to flourish from seed
Roots are driven deep and cling to life in need,
Burst through in glory where none can survive
The drywall a challenge a world don’t deprive,

A drop of moisture from lips so sweet
Can life surge as root and moisture meet?

You the one to give the love
I flower my seed carried up above,
The craggy wall no more lay stark
My flower engaged within your heart.
To dig for life’s blood to flourish from seed
Roots are driven deep and cling to life in need
