Ever been kidnapped
By a gardener?
If I were a gardener,
I'd kidnap you.
Plant you in my garden,
Watch as you grow,
Splash you with color
Til your true beauty shows.
Sit you in the sunshine,
Water you with love,
Trim your edges,
Just can't get enough.
Showing you to all
Of my flower friends,
Laugh as you dance
In the blowing wind,
And when your petals wilt,
You'll be encased in seeds.
Yeah, if I were a gardener,
I'd kidnap you indeed.A/N
