Spirit tells me that, as I care for the plants (He seems to

Disapprove of my calling them my plants) on my patio or

In my little back garden, they also care for me, and,

Even during Winter, they, as I do, require care.

However, we each may require more care or a

Different type of care during different seasons of

Our lives, as do different people we know and

Care about, in a personal way.

These special plants and people (for they are special, if

Only to us) seem to need what we alone can give them,

Our love, unconditionally.

We share a personal, interdependent relationship;

A bonding of emotion and thought, of

Pleasure and responsibility.
