The
Garden
Tending a garden of pure potential
How the caterpillar has grown
Crawling from your silent skin
How you've blossomed on your own
Dancing across the lawn
As the butterflies applaud
Tumbling to the ground
Your smile a sweet reward
Golden rays of happiness, the dust
It sparkles in the sun
Glory in the everyday, silky
Memories delicately spun
