You Love Gardening

~About this poem- My mom is taking care of my grandma right now. She is showing signs of dementia and her health is dimming. This poem is written to her:~ You don’t need to know the place or why thoughts are out of place just stay happy and stay you draw a smile across my face. i can get the colored crayons you can sketch my face by hand if you want us here, we’ll stay right here so draw the floors into sand. build life; you can use us as the wood keep your spirits up? we should let us stay right here for good. don’t listen to their limits it’s your world and they’re not in it they didn’t know you said that you weren’t done till’ you were finished. do you see us in the stands? we’re your biggest fans! run towards love, you’ll win love show them “limits” aren't your plan.
