Love is the Sunshine blessing a flower
with sweet, gentle rays at dawn
"Wake Up!" nature nudges
Her petals open up, a gentle yawn
Love is the Rain bathing a flower
raindrops patting on her in tune
"Drink Up!" nature nudges
Her petals enriched, full of bloom
Love is the Bumblebee visiting a flower
coaxing sweet nectar to pollinate
"Let's Share!" nature nudges
She helps fellow flowers propagate
Love is the Wind testing a flower
Bending her all directions, to and fro
"Let's Stretch!" nature nudges
Her stem strengthens up as she grows
Love is the Moon blessing a flower
after dark with soft, gentle moonbeams
"Let's Sleep!" nature nudges
She closes up her petals tight to dream

Bobbie - thanks for dropping in to say hello to OG. If you hadn't I may never have discovered this beautiful poem. It moved my mined and stirred some memories. great writing
Love is a great thing to have in one's life and can be beautiful with the right person or things.
I also read your last two poems. The one about your mom and those buttons is good because I felt a sense of belonging throughout and sharing of time.
I can relate to the one about the red dress because I have clothes that don't fit me now.
Hope all is well.
Thank you, all! I'm glad you like this piece :)
@ Missy: The header just fit lol. Glad you like it

@ Old Grizz: I'm glad it spoke to you and stirred some memories. ♥
Love this - it's a wonderful form for this topic...
This is really beautiful, and it shows sometimes simple is better - less is more. You used just the right words, I love the images it brings to mind.
