Finding yourself can be difficult<\/p>\n
In this crazy, hectic world.<\/p>\n
Take your troubles into nature<\/p>\n
Let all your worries unfurl.<\/p>\n
Spend some time nurturing flowers<\/p>\n
Smell the soil, water it well<\/p>\n
If you focus, you can tell.<\/p>\n
The plants will feed your soul<\/p>\n
Renew your spirit too<\/p>\n
In a reciprocal situation<\/p>\n
And you\u2019ll both be like new.<\/p>\n
