I have a little seedling,
it’s just sprouted green leaves,
it waves about in the wind
and makes our cat sneeze.
I want to give it a home,
so I’ve found a neat brown pot
and filled it with earth
all the way to the top.
I’ll make a small hole
using an old lollipop stick
and put my seedling in it
so the stem grows nice and thick.
Then for the important bit,
I’ll need to give it a drink.
I heard rainwater’s best,
not just water from the sink.
After that, I’ll have to wait
and care for it with love,
only then will it flower
from its tender buds.
