The Marigold

Set seed said the marigold
Set seed for next year
Even though you’ll look
I will not be here
For my journey now is ebbing
Against a autumn sun
As the days get ever shorter
And my flowers now are done

Set seed said the marigold
For I’ve enjoyed my stay
And next year where I am sitting
Another plant will lay
It may indeed look like me
But I know you’ll come to see
That its completely different
As there is only one of me.

The last of my marigolds are just giving way to the winter, they have been abundant this year.
