To Give is to Gain

[BecktheDog]

Edit #2

the sun rises peaking over the hills
the crimson pink rose petal accretes a drop of dew
the wind grasps the branches
the ground gains a new leaf
corn reaped by the bushel
snow accumulates on the mountain tops

the world sees a new baby's face
the parent radiates love
a kind word gives hope
laughter fills a room
a dog rolls over and kisses its owner

Coffee drips into the pot
a breath out
the breath in

To accrete is to gain
oxygen in a brain
hope through the pain.
