What do you mean to me?

What lessons can you teach?

I wait so I am patient.

I trust so I have hope.

I get excited so I know I feel joy.

And as I get to watch you grow,

get to look after you –

watch you get stronger

and more independent.

Till that day that I know will come.

The day we say goodbye…..

As I eat you!

Yes, I get a lot from you –

My garden seeds.
