I won't love you like a rose
I won't love you like a lily.
That kind of love is short lived.
I'll pick you up,
Smell your fragrance,
Hold you close
But just for a while
Before you wither away and my love dries.
I want to love you like a tree
Like a young small baobab shoot.
I want to water you with affection,
Shelter you as you grow
Trim your misguided shoots
And bask in your shade in the years to come
As we give thanks while we look back.
Yah! Nia ❤❤ have a nice day! Ahead!
