173. Seed Poem by Jaden Knight

You let it grow
started to sprout
took on water
though it was just a seed

Became too big for you to handle
tried to dig it up
no chance of success
the roots were too far deep

The flowers were the greatest part
but you never could appreciate the stems
the leaves were barely tolerated
sporting ragged edges

In time you will rip up those stems
and leave the petals on the heap
the roots you can't pull out
they will have grown too deep

So now the plant has been destroyed
along with the love that helped it grow
the roots have since rotted away
leaving on the memories
