The Fostercarer

The fostercarer

Let me take the seeds uprooted,
By the floods that pay no mind,
To the lives they have polluted,
And forevermore defined.

Let me bring them to a garden,
Where the soil is deep and rich,
Let me plant once more and be their warden,
Let me bring the sun and rain, no matter which.

Let me protect and let me care,
Let me nurse them back from gloom,
And then, when time is finally there,
Please, just let me watch them bloom.

Those little things that make my day: Cycling past a man in an expensive suit, holding an important looking business suitcase and singing 'Can't stop me now' on the top of his lungs.
