Gardener Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

Even if you were dying, I would water you every day,
In hopes that you would survive, no matter what came your way.
Even if your body was covered in thorns, sharp and severe,
I wouldn't think twice before wrapping you in my embrace, my dear.

Even if the sun's rays didn't grace you with their warm embrace,
You'd still manage to bloom, your beauty shining in that place.
For you are a star, a radiant light in the night sky,
While others are mesmerized by the moon, I only have eyes for you, my, oh my.

It's worth whatever it takes, the risks I'm willing to take,
Just to be near you, to bask in the joy that you make.
For you are the one I seek, the one I hold dear,
No matter the obstacles, I'll always be by your side, my dear.

Even if the vines were thick, the path overgrown and tough,
I'd brave the treacherous journey, for you are more than enough.
Your beauty, your strength, your resilience, so pure and true,
Captivate my heart, and make me want to do whatever it takes for you.

So I'll water you daily, tend to your every need,
Protect you from harm, and ensure that you succeed.
For you are the one I cherish, the one I hold so dear,
My star in the night sky, my heart's truest, most precious, revered.
