You reading this be ready



Will you ever bring a better gift

for the world
Than the breathing respect that you carry

Wherever you go right now? Are you
waiting
For time to show you some better
thoughts?

This is my first encounter with your Blog, Koka, Congratulations ...it is beautiful, as you are.
Please don't leave out the rotting brown slime of decaying vegetation in the winter mixed with dirt that makes the next blooming cycle possible.
One well taken photo of a pile of manure should help balance out the picture.
