Planting a Flower For You

Planting a flower for you in the spring Among God’s ground I wait I water you I watch and I wait I can see your roots among the dirt Spreading as if they were wings And then You pop up out of the ground A small green leaf pushing your way above Each day I care for you as if I were A bird sitting on an egg waiting for you to hatch I water I wait, I water I wait. I water and wait You have grown so tall reaching toward the sky A sparkle comes across my eyes I cannot not wait to see your beauty as the sun Touches your leaves of wings reflecting the water Upon them like tiny diamonds they appear I see your bud flowing out from the vine So precious and lovely you have become I wait and wait for your bud to bloom and then A flower you becoming a Lavender Chrysanthemum Your most favorite flower I have grown for you Today, I will place them upon your grave
