Green Thumb

By Rachel Berntsen

Planting the seeds in your sweet sunbed
Planting knowledge in my head
Planting with your kind, soft hands
Planting love that surely withstands
Planting love hand in my hand

Watering with a can in both hands
Watering me with love so grand
Watering with gentle care
Watering me with love so rare

Growing in full, bright bloom
Growing into myself, away from your room

I will always remember your soft, sweet care
I will always remember how you brought me here
I will remember how you are dear and near
