“You are my tender flower of the night
And I am your gardener
I tend to you
So that you will continue to bloom
and blossom
and flourish
Not wilt
Without sunlight
So that the bees may take interest in you
And the weeds will not choke you
And you are self assured being where you are
Once dejected
But now again chosen.
I feel elated and rejoiceful
So that I could go tend to other flowers
as well and make the whole garden bloom
With a life of its own
Although I spent my whole life
as a gardener
I don’t have the privilege to own
any flower.
As much as I wanted to.”
