I watered you everyday <br />But for four days <br />I went away <br /> <br />Coming back <br />I found you shriveled <br />Your leaves dried up and wrinkled <br />All the other flowers were smiling <br />But, you were the only one dieing <br /> <br />I bought you on mother’s day <br />And you were not so cheap I must say <br />You had no blooms <br />But the sales man promised you would <br />So, I trusted too hard <br />And ripped the receipt <br />And took you home with me <br /> <br />As hardy as you claim to be <br />You seem weak <br />No flower ever peaked <br /> <br />I feed you fertilized food <br />As you are now on your death bed <br />But you haven’t woken up yet <br />I am still waiting <br />As I water you everyday <br />Maybe you’ll come back to life <br />And i’ll get my fifty-two dollars back some day<br /><br />Diana Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mother-s-day-gift/
