Rose Buds

August: first day

fretful eyes look at me

backpacks bigger than they are

tight buds with so much locked inside

cultivate these roses with hugs and praise

take a deep breath

you can do "show and tell" if you try

more mulch

good job today

thanks for helping tie that shoe

a smile

the buds begin to open

time, hugs, hand on a shoulder

encouraging words

May: last day

the roses bloom

backpacks fit

go into the world

roses in full bloom

give your fragrance to the world
