Zinnia's No More

Little Zinnias, how I anticipate you so
I planted you from seed not so long ago

Heavy rain has come and gone
High hopes that it would nourish the lawn

Rain and Rain keeps coming our way
Thinking it will pass, it has come to stay

No sign of growth from the ground I sought
Deep in the dirt you probably suffer from root rot

*sigh*

You are hysterical! I've planted one thing this year - a purple coneflower. Let's see how long it makes it. :))

Ahhhh...sad. Rain should nourish them but then they need both just like us. They need rain and sun. We need blessings and trials.

Hmmmm...
