The Bed of Flowers

Z.J. Ascensio
Hard work
I tuck you in bed
I nourish you
Protect you
All you need I help provide

Patient
I give you time
Time to reach for the sky
Time to grow
I wait to see what you become

Reward
You stand on your own
Your beauty radiates
Your goals attained
I smile for I led you here

The bed of flowers
My children in the soil
Love helps you blossom
