Friendship and Shamrocks
by: Carolyn
Carkeek Cramoy
My shamrock is back!
The one she gave me,
A reminder of hope and
Continued friendship.
Neglected for life's demands,
Unable to sustain itself
Without my care,
It crumpled and I cried.
But I clipped it back
And prayed it would return.
And now it is saying
"I am still here."
A friendship with strong roots
Stands moments of neglect
If we can return and
Nourish when life allows.
As life pushes and prods me,
My little green friend
Reminds me of giggles and caring
And helps to pull me through.
Soon my Shamrock will bloom
With delicate white flowers,
And I will smile again.
