His Broken Pot
Petal by Petal the flowers life goes
tear by tear my life-long love tares away
as one nears death the other beauty shows
It's scarlet face shining in the suns ray
why my darling has shunned my affection
gradually worse as his sight grew dim
for I have been there through desperation
nursing, healing, loving, watering him
but there are still more years in these young bones
there is still moist soil in his broken pot
as the sun restores and he pays his loans
he swore he would not leave me in this plot
I should have known he was meant to provide
He's left a seedling growing by my side
