How Can I Say Goodbye
How can I say goodbye?
My pride and joy
You were but a small seed in my heart
But I watched you grow and blossom
Stretching your strong limbs to the sky
And pushing roots firmly down into your natal soil.
You were colour for me when everything else turned black
And the heavy cloud that dulled my mind and broke my heart was lifted when I saw you, when i touched your gentle warmth.
I cared for you but you have given back more than i could ever have hoped for.
You have fed us, sheltered us, watched us grow
You have given me peace.
So how can i say goodbye to my garden?
Truth is, i can't.
