Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Now, I Wait

 
have sowed all my seeds
have planted them with love
have cared for them daily
now, I wait

waiting for nature
waiting for green to peak
waiting for each new leaf
now, I wait

then there are frail plants
then tender flower buds
then came the wind and rain
now, I wait

will the frail survive
will they stand up erect
will they sway in the breeze
now, I wait

dead they lay forlorn
dead they have given up
dead so I plant more seeds
now, I wait
