Resiliant & Wild

Resiliant & Wild

Resiliant & wild

The Passion blooms

Calling out to the world

I am here

I am still here

When times are hard

like the winter freeze

staying low 

I rest still breathing

Resiliant & Wild........

When there's sign of warmth

I spring from the ground

budding out to the songs of the backyard birds

and I bloom 

to the joy of the bees

that bumble and frolick with joy

to yield 

for you my tending hosts

a bounty of fruits

to strengthen your Hearts

be resiliant and wild!
