Forget-Me-Not

You need water too

I planted you years ago.

Then, I forgot about you.

I'd only remember from time to time,

Pop up for water and maybe sunlight too?

It was never enough.

That's why you never grew.

So, I left everything behind.

I had nothing to lose.

You were the last thing left,

And you never got to bloom.

So, I watered you every day.

I put you in a sunny room.

First, I saw green.

Then, yellows, and blues.

It was unfolding before my eyes.

That's when I knew.

This little Forget-Me-Not,

Is pure and true.

You're all I need.

I can never forget you.
