Daily tending to my plants and watering them, agonizing if they dry or wither.
How much is enough

Oh, my compact bed of greenery, you bloom fully when you get watered,
If I pour less water, then you feel parched.
If I pour more, then you go and wither.
How much is enough, please let me know!

My heart breaks when I see you wither or parched,
The dried leaves when you are parched, drop lifelessly.
And drenched leaves wither with too much water.
How much is enough, please let me know!

When I unpot you to tend to your soil, your pallor changes to happiness,
And I replant you to a beautiful and bigger pot, you blossom to my touch.
With little fertilizer to feed you, you look satiated and gratified.
Letting me realize under my care, with budding and flourishing, that, this is enough!
