So much depends on
How we nurture,
The care we give,
The faith we have
The love we share...
One can revive a dying plant
See the spurt of green,
A birth from death,
Watch it bloom again,
Bear flowers and fruits
Or just be....alive!
And it is just not the
Plants we nurture.... :)

DeleteHi Janaki,
DeletePlease forgive that I'm doing this wrong, but I can't figure out how to comment on this post in the usual way . I have looked everywhere, and cannot find the button to post a comment. I'm reading for the poet's rally, and just wanted to say "Let Us Nurture," your poem, is good food for thought, and I appreciate the reminder.
The simple truth! Beautifully crafted poem dear Janaki ~ blessings
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra.
