Somebody Up There Loves Me

Beth's Summer Blooms

The first time I saw her, she was dried out

Screaming thirsty, and no earth for comfort

I picked her up so gently, bathe her in lukewarm water

Tucked her in between dirt and earthworms

And left her there for recovery, Seven days after

I was cleaning my garden and there she was

Peaking out,I went closed to her and whispered

My breath gives you carbon dioxide

And in return you give me life and joy

Life because of the oxygen you breath out for me

And joy because of the beautiful flowers you present to me

Not only that, you give me hundreds of seeds for me to enjoy

And the memories will linger in my mind.

Wonderful poem, thank you for sharing!

Sunflowers are my very favorite flower. It's nice that someone does a blog about something nice.

Thanks again

Jessie
