The Qiblih -- Entreaty
i accept the wisdom of the gardeneri do i really do accept it i do
no matter how much it hurts
i know that you transplanted the sapling
to a better garden
i know that it will thrive there forever
it was sickly and weak in this one
i can't judge the gardener's decisions
and i never even try
i think that if i was a garden
i would be a poor one
because i haven't had any success so far
but i have crazy longings to grow
so if you are not too busy
and one day you notice me
which isn't easy
because i am not very significant
would it just be possible
if it's not a lot of trouble
for me to nourish another sapling
maybe a healthy one this time
if you notice me
and take pity please oh please
a healthy one or maybe two
a smart one
one who knows about you
and is grateful
and i know i am not much
and never will be
but please oh please
one more chance to love someone
and not be alone
please
oh please
one more chance to nurture a tree
