Ode To Gratitude: Repaying the Roots With Fruit
Our forefathers plowed
For our fathers to sow,
Sowing so we could reap!
But, if we should keep
Such bountiful treasure
For mere pleasure,
And take the sweat of
Their brows for granted,
Then we have lost our way
And failed to be worthy heirs!
For the branches repay the roots
With the flowers and fruits!
