The Happy Rose Tree (2023)Acrylic painting by Suzette Datema

The Happy Rose Tree

Years past, my friend left, plants in my care,
She said, "Speak to them, for they'll know you're there."
Awkwardly, I talked, though it felt quite absurd,
Yet the plants believed, flourishing undisturbed.
Later, a friend's experiment came to light,
Three plants he tested, with words taking flight.
Love to the first, neglect to the second,
Hatred to the third, a sad fate beckoned.
The loved one bloomed, vibrant and alive,
The neglected wilted, unable to survive.
The hated one withered, its spirit undone,
A lesson learned: love, for all, is the sun.
So I painted a rose tree, happiness imbued,
Reminded that love is essential, not skewed.
In a world longing for affection's sweet touch,
Let love grow, for it heals, and means so much
