Seeds were planted in the earth
beautiful flowers its results
then petals begin to wither
drifting winds blew petals apart

This all forgotten except
I decided to take another look
Petals withering, drifting winds blowing
Reminded me of untended love, then parting

No sunshine to feed the heart
no moisture drizzling to a nourishing soul
No gentleness or kindness
no feeding of the soil

Lack of love and understanding
no lavishing of a thousand smiles
Finally the drifting of love gone cold
untended petals all dried

Taking love for granted,
drifted dried petals its results
No tender care of kindness
No sprinkles of love anywhere
Just untended petals
Left alone, love drifting uncared
