I got a plant from my friend
When she went away for a weekend
'I really like it! ' I said
With the pot in my hand, she left
There were a couple of outgrowths
And some leaves on the tree.
I watered, nurtured, and cherished it
And it was my new ecstasy.
Time went by
We weren't meant to be together forever
Though half-hearted, I returned it with a smile
And said 'Good Bye'
I was so fascinated by the plantlet
That I decided to purchase one myself.
'I really like it! ' I said
With the pot in my hand, I left.
It had large long leaves
And some small seeds.
I watered, nurtured, and cherished it
And it was my new hobby
Time went by
We weren't meant to be together forever
The ring of time flies
My Canna plant dies
A few days later, my uncle gifts me a plant
I thank him from the depth of my heart
"I really like it! ' I said
With the pot in my hand, he left.
There were big blooming flowers
A priceless gift for plant lovers.
I watered, nurtured, and cherished it
It was my new buddy.
Time went by
We weren't meant to be together forever
I had just matured my green fingers
When a bug bit them, the swelling lingers
I rushed to the hospital, wailing in pain.
All my love had been betrayed.
I threw it away as rapidly as I could.
Again, deserted I stood.
Today I think, reflect, and ask?
Were these plants behaving like us?
