We sit in your garden trying to grow
Dying of thirst in this heat
With the summer around us
And the dryness at peak
You think it’d be time for a drink
A drip and a drop hits the ground
And makes its way to our roots
The thunder comes crashing
And the rain starts to pour
Are we finally getting a good soaking?
This rain’s not enough
Though you think it would be
As it ruins your summer fun
But for us little plants
Its hope of what water is yet to come
We are all dehydrated
In this summer sun
Withering away in this heat
All we want is a little help
So we can show off to our best.
So all we ask next time you’re around
Shower us with that H2O
For we can give you plenty more
Given the water to grow
Try not to water us
In the heat of the day
Eleven ‘o’clock to four
We are just like you humans
We burn in the sun
We prefer being watered when cool
So give us a chance
And water us plants
We promise to grow better each time
For all we need is a little more water
A little more H20.
