I Am a Flower

By Dinah Henry

 

I was right there for you in your garden.

You said every time I see you, you always smell like a flower.

That sweet smell of roses you like it on me.

You can't stay away from your grandma's garden, so I rebuilt it for you.

You said, “You didn't have to do that.”

I told you, “Why I did it, is because you kept looking at it like I wish grandma were here. She is here, just in a different place. I know you miss her and I bet she is missing you too. She will be there even if you can't see her. That is why I rebuilt it for you.”

You said, “You are a flower.”

Well, that is what I am, a flower.
