How can anything Bloom,
If not nurtured and Loved?
Broken Bark..
Scared and Bleeding.

My eyes are sad like a Flower without the sunlight
My Skin shows the scars of the storms
My Soul is empty like a flower needing water
My Heart feels the sting of the thorns.

What the tree needs is a gardener
The flower does too…
What I needed and Found
My Love is You…..!!

With You my scars are healing
like the bark on the tree
Tender loving and touches
You are giving me.

The Light in Your eyes
Is like the sunlight to the Flower
Opening up My Soul
Giving me strength and Power.

Overcoming the Years of Neglect
Gaining the Strength needed to Grow
Watering The seed within me
So My Bloom can show.

With You I flourish..
With you I grow..
You are the Gardener
This woman has needed so…
