In Good Time
In good time, the flowers will open,
their eyes on me, they will laugh and wish me well,
knowing I will be there for them
when no one else is looking.
I will give them water
when they are thirsty.
I will shade them from the sun
when it gets too bright.
I will talk to them until night falls.
In good time, the flowers will speak to me and
they will tell me when
they are ready.
