Care For Me Please

Care for me please

I will make your home pretty

All I need is sun, soil, and water

A window sill will be fine

For the place I will be

Care for me please

My sisters and me

We are beautiful deep purple

With leaves of bright green

Our petals are like dresses

We stand up tall

Letting all our beauty out

Just for you

Care for me please

I don’t like to be in the bitter cold

I can’t stand the splitter spatter of the rain

Nor the scorching heat from the summer sun

Leaves are my enemy,

Trying to be prettier than I

And the wind blowing my poor petals away

Care for me please

This is all I will ask for

It is not very much

I am not worried about me though

It is my sisters I care about

I am the oldest of three

And I say they are prettier than I

Care for me please

You don’t have to worry about me

Just make sure my sisters are safe

And well taken care of

Please take care of them please
