The Garden in Us

The garden struggle,

it’s just when you think,

you understand,

we have our differences

something always goes wrong. 

Going first means 

we’re making all the rules. 

I promise to try,

to make you all happy and

even though I never will

I’ll be the first in line

without any a excuses. 

This garden of ours,

have flowers that need things.

Sure they’re mostly forgiving

especially when we forget 

we made certain promises,

to love unconditionally.  

Yesterday and 

every day in between 

we should make certain promises

to take a few minutes 

tend to the weeds.  

There’s still enough time left

to admire the beauties,

but all that

starts in us first.
