I bought some flower seeds and planted them in a plastic vase gave them all my attention I was happy indeed after a short while you began to grow I wanted everyone to know so I took you outside to play passed you around to all the kids they touched your soft petals and smelled your sweetness They pretend not to care but I could see they were all jealous of me and my beautiful little flower but to my dismay you withered up and died your leaves slowly turned brown and you slumped to one side I sat sadly down on the sidewalk and cried I tried so hard and sacrificed all that I had to make a life for you a happy little flower I waited day and night for you to bloom I watered you everyday and gave you lots of love maybe a little too much I fed you cookies and chocolate milk wrapped you up in mommy's silk mommy said you were fragile and that I should be extra careful you were just like a child very delicate and a sight to see just like me I even took you to story time and remember when we ate chocolate ice-cream together and when the weather was nice we jumped rope under the big oak tree just you and me flower we played dress up and I always got to be the mommy because I had legs everyone was so impressed with how nice you looked in leather and we took bubble baths together but I’m puzzled I don’t know what to do please tell me flower why didn’t you bloom
