To a Peach

I planted your mother about 4 years ago.
I watered her and sprayed her and fertilized her.
In winter I pruned her dead wood
and clipped her errant twigs
I saw you when you sprouted as a bud
and then when you became a flower
I watched the bees as they caressed you
and sought nectar from you
you were green and hard as a rock
for months you grew bigger and bigger
now you are here and beaconing me
to pluck you from your mother limb
You smell so sweet so soft and so red
I cannot resist
You are mine,
my reward for all I've done
I want to save you but I can't
I must eat you lest you would rot
succulent peach,
you are worth all my efforts
I'm sorry beautiful peach but
you must die, that I might live

Might be a challenge to put a melody to those words.

I think "Georgia on my Mind" is safe for now. laugh
