She Waters the Flora, She Waters the Fauna
She collects the water in jars
on the edge of her windowsill
fills her watering can
nurtures the plant and the lamb.
The gentle sheep came to live with her, but he didn't demand much. He curled up next to her on the coldest winter nights, keeping her warm in chill. She gave him water, and hay and encouragement. They were friends, but their friendship was unobtrusive. They both lived together, but also lived their own lives, except for when they really needed someone to be there for them. Like during times of thirst, or times of snow and broken heaters.
