She'll bloom for you if you let her,
in patience, fortified with perseverence.

Sweetly scented plant of passion,
a gateway symbol of Druid lore,
a connecting link between
fertile earth and the otherworld.

Heather.

Honeybees prefer her sweet nectar.
Her ripened seeds nourish.
She heralds a season
of rejoicing and thankfulness.

Treat her well and she will blossom
forever
within your fertile heart.

Beautiful Kacy...My niece's name is Heather and she is as lovely as this poem.
Much enjoyed, hugs, Nancy.

Very good.  I especially take note of the first and last stanzas.  I like the idea of blooming and blossiming within one's heart.
