every now and then

I am a flower 

you can put me 

in your window 

 

I don't need seed soil 

only a bit of water 

some sunshine 

every now and then 

and a kiss 

 

I may not grow 

but I'll stick 

around 

 

and wave to you 

each morning 

 

[Nikki Giovanni {1943- } 'Some Call it Love', from Make it Rain]
