All Our Love For Blooming Fables
#BloomingFables
We brought you home beneath so many blankets,
We couldn’t see you though we knew you’d make it.
Then finally, the sun stopped its weeping —
The light you grasped, after all that sleeping.
Once you did we could not measure —
How tall you stood, despite the weather.
You command all our attention —
You behoove the quietest mention.
To think that at the start we couldn’t see you —
Yet now our gaze we can’t move from you.
You are loved and just there gentle swaying —
You’ve never spoke though your sight is deafening.
How very fortunate we are for the comfort you provide us,
With our grateful we all must give —
We cherish that in us you trust us with.
