I will take your hand<\/p>\n
Show you the paths that lead to the darkest parts of me<\/p>\n
Where things are tangled and overgrown<\/p>\n
In cupped hands, I will clasp the seedlings that have never known the sun<\/p>\n
I hope you like them<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In return, I will tend to the garden of your thoughts<\/p>\n
Encourage the seeds of creativity to sprout<\/p>\n
I will reach into the wellspring of me<\/p>\n
And show them the ways that they can flourish<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will tear down the walls that divide our gardens<\/p>\n
And build a shed to keep our tools<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will learn to plant with you<\/p>\n
And\u00a0 how the seasons pass for you<\/p>\n
When to water and how much sun<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If it is too painful to prune<\/p>\n
I will do so where you do not have to see<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
