Root For Me!
March 2, 2018
I am a potted plant.
Any plant you can think of.
I can be your own potted plant.
Watch me;
Be Aloe Vera!
Soothing, healing, and protective.
Because I can be very supportive!
Be a Cactus.
Barbed and spiny,
When you try to hurt me.
Be a Tomato plant.
I may bring bad tomatoes from time to time,
but once in a while, there will be good tomatoes.
Become a small flower.
Once our friendship grows,
It can bloom into something amazing...
...Or maybe a Bamboo plant.
Noble and virtuous.
Because I am very loyal and stay true to my values.
No matter what plant you want me to be,
We’ll take care and look out for one another.
So until we meet, let’s root for each other!
