Ploetry - I am Here, for You...Perhaps, Because of You.

I am that Blade of Grass, in among the others in that beautiful lawn you may have neglected,

But still, reaching out for the sun and the next drink of water.

I am that New Leaf on the branch of this majestic hardwood, you have cared for so well;

Yet, we are aging as I try my best to carry life forward.

I am the Weed Shoot you will regret, but I am doing my best for my kin,

Knowing you will wish I had never come to be.

I am the Healthy and Beautiful Plants in this bed where you chose to place us with one another,

Hoping all would be well. And, it is.

I am that Gorgeous Specimen Tree you planted seventeen years ago and now we are enjoying one another,

Like we never imagined.

I am all those wonderful things and those not-so-much,

But, we wouldn't be having all this time together had you not

Been here, chosen me or allowed for me to do what I do.

Through all the Beauty, the Expectations, the Good and the Bad;

I'm Only Here for You.
