April

I am planted beneath you
                        watch me grow
                        Whisper me good morning
                        and goodnight my love
                        just so my tender heart will know...
                        But I'm trembling in the frozen
                        unprotected, hardened ground
                        and as my fragile petals struggle to bloom
                        the harsh winter pulls them away
                        Will you carelessly tread
                        upon my faded, wilted hope
                        or will you pause thoughtfully
                        finding me again in the spring
                        Oh, look down and feel the soft rain
                        forgiving memories on your flesh
                        Cup your gentle, giving hands
                        and water me back to life
