The Soil

I had this old potted flower just sitting there on the window sill And with each passing day and hour it was none the better still Half dead it never really seemed alive with only a few leaves left Where what once had thrived was some how taken like a common theft So sad did it seem to be slowly wilting away right in front of my eyes It's beauty I could no longer even see no matter how hard one tries And with everything that I tried nothing ever seemed to work So I sat there and sighed thinking what happened to all that perk As a last ditch resort I decided to replant it with some new soil And using just a little effort with this meager job I began to toil Putting it back up in the window just to allow it to come to rest And now at least I would know that I had tried my very best The next day as I entered the room something seemed different I noticed this little baby bloom and it had such a fragrant scent And in the following days I really couldn't believe what I saw That plant began to amaze, one of the prettier one's that I ever saw And so it is with our Children for they are all planted somewhere You remember way back then as everyone has once been there So if the blooms always spoil and they just don't seem to grow Put them in the proper soil and their beauty will certainly show
