Poor Valentines

They have to be tucked in well
Or they don’t sleep right
These petunias
 
The one who dreamed up
Flowers and children must
Have been a dragon
 
To conjure up such fragile things
But underneath the wanton color
What becomes of the naked flower
 
Or the children for that matter
Are these the flowers of the future
Poor petunias
 
As a gardener I suffer
For my children
But as a father I rejoice
