The Shower Of Life
A Little Water Goes Along Way
In the spring and summer I do my best
To keep as many plants alive
I hook up my hose and water the plants I have planted in the past
Some didn't make it over the winter but most of them pull through
I walk and water and talk to my plants
Grow baby grow
Let me see what your made of
Bring me flowers
Bring me happiness in every leaf
Grow tall and strong and I will water you all summer long
I love your colors of green and yellow and sometimes red
I give you a treat
A mouthful of miracle grow to keep you well fed
Each morning I get up early before the sun is up and bright
Walking and talking among all the different plants that I see
Many I don't know by name
But we are all friends I am sure of that
From the smallest flower to the grass that turns green
A handful of annuals scattered about that give great color to every day
The perrenials that come back year after year
They cover the ground from end to end
A shy white rosebush that blooms quickly then goes into hiding
Ornamental grass that climbs high
Border plants that line the driveway like runway lights at night
An occasional weed that comes to visit and I have to send them on their way
I dig them up and put them in my weed pile so they can prosper
These are just some of the plants that flower and bloom
I am sure there are many more buried under the rich soil that I see
As I shut off the water and walk away who will surprise me tomorrow
Will it be a purple flower or soft greens lambs ear that wants to grow
I can't wait and as always I leave you with a final note
Grow baby grow with every gust of wind that blows
