Needs a little bit of sun,
Some shade now and then.
Protection from the climes,
Needs care all the time.
It’s hardy, it has the ability to live
to survive, the capacity to give
and to invigorate, to bloom.
House plants breathe life into a room.
It’s fragile, it manages to survive
the more you love it, the more it thrives.
It can wilt in the cold, the rain.
House plants aren’t meant to adapt to pain.
It withers and it grows,
one gets what one sows.
It is a responsibility,
one should knowingly want.
My heart is a house plant.
