Planted a seed with love,
fed and nutured from above.
contained in Mother Nature's mirth
I sprout and peck avove the earth.

I search the healing warth I need
to help me flourish and succeewd.
I turn to kies of azure blue
for pigments of sun's multi hue.

I drink warm droplets from the sky
which helps me grow and come alive.
The golden petals around my face
reflect a blush in outer space.

Mid-Summer's heat has me smiling
I reach higher, always climbing
to lofty heights, in search of sun;
it goes to bed, my day is done.

My feathered friends, their breakfast taste,
as they peck my pimpled face;
I rotate to the veacon on high,
give praise and heave a long sad sigh.

I feel a chilly Autumn breeze
as I watch fluttering prismatic leaves.
I don't believe I'll grow any stronger;
can't follw Ms. Sunshine any longer.

I bow in prayer, my laden head,
and give thanks for the harvest ahead.
I know my time on earth is done,
my beauty fades with the setting sun.
