Semillas

We are to receive a gift
Through a method misplaced
Handfuls of nature chaste

Wandering seeds
Sprout for us vignettes of promise
That we may look upon the world through fresh eyes

Innocuous gems
Sprout for us the warmth of contentment 
That we may grow beyond the reach of suffering

Flora, give as you must
Bring hope to a budding youth
And shelter us from loss
