Growing in your garden
She's a little bud on a sapling
Your green fingers will caress her
With tender nurturing

Threatened by the storms
She refuses to open her curtain
Whisper beautiful words
And she'll respond for certain

Gently stroke her petals
And sit with her for a while
Just gaze at her blushing petals
And feel her give a shy smile

Brush your cheeks against her
Her softness will kiss you
And maybe finally she'll open a bit
And give you a glimpse of the core too

Cup the little bud in your hands
Let it feel your fingers
Though rough but ever so soft
Leaving a feeling that lingers

And finally one day the bud
Will blush open under your caress
Splaying the vibrant petals
Like a ballerina's tulle dress

Kiss her petals softly then
And dive your soul into her core
Spreading the fragrance of love
She's only the gardener's to adore.
