Will Not Grow
by Rebecca Valentino
I’m watering this flower,
I’m hoping it will grow.
I fed it every day this year,
It doesn’t even show.
I talk to it I even sing,
It’s hardly by itself.
In my bed it sleeps with me,
Not lonely on a shelf.
I dress it every morning,
I clean the dirt at night.
But sadly though, it will not grow,
And it’s a ghastly sight!
