Selfless

I see it all the time

The person who wears themself thin

Trying to take care of everyone else

You know who I’m talking about

We’ve all got someone like that in our lives

The one always looking out for us

Dropping their everything to help with your one thing

This poem is for them

Put yourself in the roots of a plant

For it to produce any fruit or flower

First it must be watered,

Gobble up yummy nutrients,

Bask in the sun

Then it will grow tall and mighty

Now spread those seeds to the wind

Do you see how far and wide they travel

All because the plant took the time to grow
