Lil on Her Birthday  (3/29/95)

You are like flowers
Some of you is fragile
Some of you is durable
Some of you is beautiful
Some of you is thorny
All of you is alive.

I garden you
I water sometimes
I plow and tend
I plant your seeds
I care
I hope enough.

I watch you grow
To bloom and to seed
To restart the flowers
In seasons repeating
And I marvel
At the beauty you show.
