Talking To My Plants

I talk and talk and pour it out;
The philodendron's all worn out!
The poor hibiscus is in a state,
The aloe plant can hardly wait
For me to rest my vocal glands,
The prayer plant just threw up her hands!
-------------
She's talking to her plants again,
She offers them a drink,
They're very good at listening
When she's deep into a think;
They never interrupt her,
When her mind's on the attack;
They welcome her encouragement
And try to give some back;
They share a secret nature knows;
Life is a giving wheel,
To nurture beauty where one goes
Leads our hearts to heal,
One more circle,
One more time,
It's our turn at the wheel.
