Evergreen

A child takes and takes

And takes

And that’s ok

They are the seeds

Of the future evergreen

And have you ever seen

A poor potted plant

With dreams so big

Turned yellow and brown

Yearning for the sun

Pleading for a soak

Waiting for droplets of love

Some form of tender touch

So we give and give

And give

And that’s ok

Our legacy is years away

Love is free anyway

The future is Evergreen
