Over care

I wanted the bud

To bloom into a flower
Full of

Beauty and fragrance
Pleasing the eyes

Of onlookers
In my haste I poured

More and more water
lot of fertilizer
Dug the soil

Again and again

Try to take more care

More than needed
Prune the plant

Beyond necessity
Only to see

The plant dying
My dream shattered
Before I could realize
Over anxiety and care
Giving more than needed

Was the cause of fatality?
