Dear Knife Ears, thank you x
Licorice tea and hot water bottles are lovely
But it’s the message that means the most to me
Kindness, care and saying you think I’m pretty
Those are things that make me feel safe and free
To be me and for you to be you and for both of us to see
That life rolls on in beautiful seasons and you’ll find our tree
Moving from deep green to rich red and very pleasingly
We can grow together and grow apples bursting ever so sweetly
Roses grow best when well watered and while I occasionally query
Some things, I have never questioned how well you water me
