My little flower seed 

I really can't wait to see

How big you'll grow 

How you'll be 

 

Time passes

And not a single day goes by 

That I do not notice you

For you are a part of my life 

I am your sun

My rays shining over you 

As a form of protection 

For you I love

And show affection 

 

You bring me joy

Every time I rotate to you 

Lying within the ground 

Safe and sound

What occurred next 

I didn't expect 

You didn't move 

Still you stood

Confusion raided my mind 

As I tried to figure out why 

But days went by fast

Your stems didn't last 

That's when I knew 

Or rather, was told

 

You’d forever stop moving 

You'd forever stop growing 

I cried for a long time 

Days and nights

 

I could never forgive myself 

No matter how hard I tried

 

My heart was broken 

But overtime

It gradually repaired 

Yet, it was still left impaired

 

And it wasn't easy

 

But I was graciously blessed with 

Two more little seedlings 

That'll create a new bliss

 

I now take a vow

To never let them get hurt 

And to always make sure 

They stay safe forever

For they are my flower seeds 

 

But you will always be

The first ever 

Little flower seed
