My Plant

When I found you you were like a plant trampled in the mud of your tears. I picked you up and replanted you in the garden of my love. And I let my sun shine on you and my rain nourish you. And I watched you heal and grow, and flowered... Now I cannot stop looking at you - you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
