January 2024,

"I'm planning to start planting on our back yard there is so much space behind there"
Peter was excited when he brought the seeeds to me,

"Yeah, actually a good idea"
I said,

"You know this is a rare breed of roses and I love this so much.... probably give one of these to someone I love after growing these with my very own hands"

"Romantic!", I blushed

He was working very hard.... digging the space to plant flowers
(sweat falling down like rain)

"I'll never ever let anyone cut these"

March 2024,

The same Peter said,
"Cut that plant"

"But why Peter?"

"Can't you see .... all its branches are dead and all the flowers are wilting....it isn't growing anymore", Peter said to me.

I replied,"You loved this plant so much in fact you planted it"

He crossed his arms, clearly frustrated
"Yeah I did, but... I think it would be better to plant another one here .... something that is worth this place"

"By the way you didn't care about watering them .... About adding fertilizers.....about using pesticides on time."I said

Peter looked at me and said,"Ohhh shut up, the seeds were all spoiled...it isn't my fault.... You better bring shovel and some new seeds"

"Okay......"

Then he removed the flowers knowing that the seeds weren't the cause of dead flowers , the gardener was....

In a garden nearby, a rose was there
To the depth of the ground it was adhere

About it's thirst no one was aware
It was wilting but they didn't even care

It's scent was disappearing from the air
The petals were falling here and there
And when a day arrived when it died
They said,
"it's your own fault how would you dare"

(I wish the gardeners for just once ,realize that the causes of the spoiling of a flower is not the seed....but they themselves are....what else flowers can do instead of wilting if nobody cares for them.....)
Admit mistakes...

It's easy to blame a flower for its own wilting...
